“The lame duck Senate will change the rules back before they leave office and the new Senators are sworn in.”

And it will get changed right back in Jan 2015!

I would make it 51 for everything next time we have control and pack the Courts with fire-breathing rock-ribbed conservatives that would undo every liberal idea passed in the past 150 years!

Those commie bastards would be crapping their knickers in fear that I would reintroduce slavery!

Obama will still be in the WH. And if the Reps gain control of the Senate, why would they change the rules back so the minority Dems can block them?

The only reason to change them back would be if the Reps think they can't get together and vote along party lines to stop Obama judicial nominees. Then it makes sense to have 60 to enforce cloture knowing that at least 41 Reps will vote together to block nominees.
