Another McCain failure for the history books.
its called running scared last chance saloon, Reid is total loon. Looking forward to it coming back and biting them on the butt.
Fellow Alinskyites of Obama will now be FLOODED into the courts and bureaucracies......
Your freedom took a giant step backward today, thanks to Obamugabe’s brownshirts.
Precedent has been set for a 2015 GOP Senate and beyond.
Maybe now Republicans won’t be so content with their minority status. The Hitlerites are rolling right over them.
Personally, I hope the retribution is so bad to Democrats that they end up digging that dead bastard "Searchlight Nevadan" up and throwing his traitorous bones to the four winds.
Just in time for a Senate takeover in 2014.
Payback’s a b*tch!
Say that in January 2017 Ted Cruz is in the Oval office and the Democrats are filibustering every judicial appointment he makes. Assuming the Republicans hold the majority in the Senate are you suggesting they would be fascists if they voted this same thing?
They know this will come back to bite them in the future, but they are trading long term reward for short term success. With Obama’s ever dwindling popularity circling the drain and threatening to take his party with him, the last hope they have of enacting anything is in the next year.
The next time there is a Republican president, the Democrats will put the old rules back.
Just in time as the GOP retakes the Senate in 2014. You’ll live to regret this Harry.
For over 200 hundred years, the institution worked. well, sort of..
Now this.. when despots are in power , no one is safe. not even a minority party in the Senate.
Remember that Dems, see ya in 2014 and 2016.
The point of the exercise is to make lifetime appointments to the fed courts hearing cases over federal regulations. Current lineup is 4-D, 4-R, and 3 vacancies. Not a word from lame stream media on why Publicrats don’t approve of the 3 proposed judges.
And this proves it!
Not to worry: The Dems will change it back during the lame session if they lose the Senate majority in any future election.
Wow, the desperation has reached historic levels in the Democrat party. Pitiful
This will bite them in the rear bigtime though, and they will be crying bloody murder on their way to obscurity
President Cruz will have work to do in 2017. Hopefully a conservative Senate will be able to help him along.
Without the filibuster there isn’t a dime’s worth of difference between the Senate and the House. Why do we need two Houses?
Huh? Did I miss something, Rush Limbaugh just said at the beginning of his show that the "Nuclear" threat wasn't worth discussing because it was just a distraction to take the media focus off Obamacare and that the democrats had no intention of following through, and even if they did it was a long convoluted process.
It appears that not only did they go "Nuclear" they changed the rules in about 15 minutes....
