If they had the votes they would have gone nuclear years ago.
Between the rinos from the northeast, media hound rinos like mccain and hagel, and the old time senile fools like john warner and specter forget about the nuclear optionL
Can we finally stop the lie that you have a majority with 50 seats.
Bush is basically in a minority govt. He can't get anything done without 60 votes. Harry Reid basically controls what bush can do.
Think of all the legislation the dems have blocked. Medical malpractice reform, estate tax, anwr. You can go on an on. Without 60 votes in the senate there is no majority.
Nope...........the rats know that Ginsburg won't survive Bush's term, and they know they only have one shot at filibuster. No way they will use it now, when the next nominee may be JRB, or BETTER. This is just the usual political posturing from Mrs. BJ Clinton, IMHO.
