Well if the Republicans win the White House in 2012 and have fewer than 60 seats in the Senate you’ll see the Democrats throwing road blocks on everything in sight. Then the GOP will no doubt suddenly have second thoughts about the filibuster as it currently exists.
Extinction of the Democratic Party is what I want to see....total implosion with beautiful fireworks afterwards.
In our country, there now seems to be one law for the Democrats and another for the Republicans—and the Republicans let them get away with it.
The Mass. legislature changed the law so a Republican governor couldn’t appoint a successor to a Senator who died or retired. Then they changed it back again when there was a Democrat governor. And they changed it ex-post-facto, which is illegal. And they kept their guy in the Senate even after a Republican was elected in his place, which was clearly illegal.
And the Republicans just sat on their hands and said nothing.
Great...
Let's make it easier for everyone to find this:

I wish someone would strangle that turd.
I’m still in favor of doing away with the filibuster.
For one, it will mean that future Congresses can much, much more easily undo the damage of past Congresses.
Most importantly, though, I believe the filibuster negates processes that were clearly spelled sout in the Constitution by misusing the authority of each house of congress to set their own rules.
For all practical purposes, the Senate has surreptitiously amended the Constitution.
Sorry.. no time to watch videos. I can read 20 times faster (at least) than I can watch video. Is there a transcript?
