I'll try again. Of course, I know that the House cannot do anything about the rules the Senate adopts. But an earlier poster suggested that our newly-elected House members might try to thwart legislation from the Senate if the Democrats in the new Congress do not allow the GOP Senators to filibuster. Here's what he said:

No law they pass will get through the House next year.

I responded that I doubted the GOP in the House would stand firm on something like that. They might say they would hold up legislation from the Senate, but they would not really do it.

Is my point clear now?

My mistake. I should have been addressing who you were, yourself, responding to.

The House should recognize that the Senate's rules are irrelevant. If they pass a good bill, support it. If they pass a bad bill, defeat it.

There's no point of making an issue in the House about the Senate's rules -- anymore than you would expect the House's new rules to be an issue in the Senate.
