It will come back to bite them when they want to do a filibuster.

Let’s see how many Democrats are stupid enough to vote for this and give the GOP another political win in 2014.

When the RATs use this tactic to obstruct and delay the nominees of Republicans it’s all OK. But when it’s used on them they suddenly want to change the rules. It’s what small children and bullies do when they know that they can’t have their way.

good, I hope they change the rule as close as possible to when we take back the Senate so we can take advantage of it’s absence once we have complete control again :)

I believe the vote is happening right now on CSPAM 2 - I’ve not been paying close attention, but appears to be along party lines (big surprise!).

Great...and when we retake the Senate next year we will defund ObamaCare with a 51-vote margin.

I wonder, now that the filibuster has been removed, if the weak-kneed Republicans will slow down all bills and votes to a snails pace in retaliation???

Aren’t the Senate rules only to change with a 2/3 vote? LAWLESS RATS will never let you down - count on it. We are so done, you can stick a fork in it.

The filibuster is a pointless and vexing procedure not mentioned anywhere in the US Constitution. It should have been put out of its misery ages ago.

Ok..if they want to play this game. If the gop-e takes the Senate next year, then change the rules for impeachment and throw his sorry arse out of there.
