When the Republicans talk about this, they call it the nuclear option, not reform.

All news is written from the Dem point of view, whether it benefits the Dems or harms the Dems politically. It is never written PRO-Republican and rarely written Pro-American People.

And SENATOR BROWN, in an interview with my local radio station went on and on about how awful the Republicans were because they wouldn't act on a "tax cut" (which its not) unless it included the beloved rich. He said he could not believe that Republicans would harm a large segment of the American population simply to hold out for the rich.

SHERROD BROWN HAS GOT TO GO IN 2012!!!

Not exactly the same thing. The "nuclear option" involved having a senator raise a point of order that the filibuster of judges was out of order, and then having that point of order upheld by the president of the Senate. What the Dems are proposing is changing the rules of the Senate, which must be approved every 2 years at the start of a new Congress, and are approved by a simple majority of senators.

However, the Dems might want to think about the fact that they will likely be in the minority in 2 years, and they will have to live with the consequences of no filibuster. Do they really want a GOP house, GOP senate and GOP president, with no chance to filibuster?
