But it has been especially pronounced since the Democrats' razor-thin win in last year's election, giving them effectively a 51-49 Senate majority, and the Republicans' exile to the minority. No - they have a 50-49 majority. Lieberman is an "I"
From Reconstruction to 1964, the filibuster was largely a tool used by segregationists to fight civil rights legislation.
WRONGO. It was used by DEMOCRATS to fight civil rights legislation

Excellent propaganda piece. Her employer must pay her well.

I believe it’s 49-49-2 but both Independents caucus with Rats. If Lieberman would have caucused with the Republicans because the way the Rats treated him Cheney would have been the tie breaker and Republicans would have held on.
