Typical of the Rats....we don’t like the way the game is played....so we’ll change the rules.....
The risk for the Harry Reid Regime is that there might be a 51-49 Republican majority after the 2012 election.
Josef Stalin couldn't have said it any better.
So what is going to happen when the GOP gains the Senate majority in 2012?
The chutzpah of these people is unbelievable. Astonishing. They only try this stuff because they know their media mouthpieces will go out and bleat the party line like a herd of sheep. The rules they used to tie up the Republican agenda when they were in the minority are now horrible, unfair, illogical, immoral, evil. Baa-aa-aa-aa.
Somebody better tell Udall he will most likely be in the minority in two years.
Apparently, the November 2nd election taught these airhead Elitists nothing. Nothing gets through their arrogance. Millions of We The People calling them 24/7 might cause them some concern. Promising them that we will vote them out in 2012 will also cause them a moment’s pause. Power is all they care about. In my opinion, they have absolutely no moral fiber and no conscience.
How many disastrous judges would the repeal enable Obama to appoint?
Typical tactics by the dems. The filibuster is fine when it benifits the dems. When they are not the majority, all they talk about is minority rights, powersharing and compromise. The republicans had better n.ot let them get away with it...the republicans should filibuster any attept at.changing the rules!
The RATS will howl that it isn't "fair" for the majority to ram legislation through. The sword cuts both ways. Think before you make a bad decision.
What the senate votes on concerning its own rules does not involve the house. As far as passing legislation, you are correct, but the ‘rules’ are an inside game.
Can someone please tell me whether the house has any say if the Senate wants to change its own procedural rules?
If they change the rules, the Republican Senators need not show up, since their presence or absence will make absolutely no difference one way or another.
That’s the probably the intent, anyway.

House has no say whatsoever on Senate rules.
I swear, if the GOP takes both houses and capitulates to the commies and fags, I am done with this. Obama will be correct.
“This is not a Christian Nation”
IIRC only a simple majority is required to change the rules of the Senate.
Excellent post. My first thought exactly.
The state run media will suddenly discover constitutional limits for the dictatorial powers the democrats are today acquiring.
