Democrats are funny - they never think the laws they enact will EVER BE USED AGAINST THEM...

Let’em change. It will make it that much easier for President Palin to ram through her agenda in 2013.

Time for the Gutless Old Party to “reach across the aisle” and beg the dems for some playing time.

The irony was that talk radio called for republicans to do the same for judges make it 51, if they did Health Care Reform would be passed last July. Because the moderates (RINOs) Gang of 14 stopped it, they had to get 60 for health reform. Moderate democrats wont dare change the rule now.

I thought talk radio was right at the time but they were wrong.

One word.

Political commercial.

Wait, okay, that's two words...

Still, this is good stuff for the 2010 elections (and this is 2010).

It is not the 60 Dem votes they have now. It is the 60 Dem votes they are not going to have after the Massachusetts special election.

Unless the GOP grows a pair, that’s what’s gonna happen.

[Lancey Howard]

Heh, this simple scumbag Janet Cook (wasn’t she the plagiarist who got fired from somewhere...?) never worried about the filibuster while the Republicans controlled the Senate.

[Lancey Howard]

Oops, nevermind. I was thinking of Janet Cooke, the Washington Post disgrace who made up the story ‘Jimmy’s World’ back in the ‘80s. The author of this LA Times column is Janet Hook.

[Political Junkie Too]

It takes a two-thirds vote in the Senate to change the rules. That's 67 Senators. If they can barely get 60 for a filibuster-proof Senate, where are they going to get 67 to change the Senate rules?

I thought the Founders said that the majority couldn’t rule.

[GeronL]

They have always wanted one party rule. Why do think people keep calling them commies?

[ken5050]

Where’s the clip of Chuckie Schumer explaining how the Senate is the “saucer that cools the coffee”

[IrishCatholic]

bookmark.

[Boucheau]

This is fantastic for the dems. They’ll have easy power and they know Republicans are too cowardly to fight back for the Republic, let alone undo anything that they have forced into place.

It’s perfect for them.

[Vaduz]

Democrats are seeking to change the rules.Not true they make up rules as they go along and change them at will.

[CPT Clay]

I believe it takes 67 to change senate rules, unless you use the nuclear option. The Gangue of 14 screwed us when we were in power.

[IamConservative]

Funny, every time you see a liberal lament about the filibuster, they fail to acknowledge that it is Democrats holding up Obama’s agenda. Most outright blame it on Republicans.
