“Sooner or later we will get back the presidency and the Senate.”
And the last act of the dem Senate will be to reinstate the rule. And we won’t be able to squat about it, I’m afraid.
Of course they will change the rules by a simple majority vote if they lose the Senate. Just the fact that they changed the Senate rules by a simple majority is tyranny. Dingy Reid himself was quite recently that is would take a super majority of 67 votes to change Senate rules. And to change something so critical to our system as the filibuster? The only tool of recourse for an empassioned minority? Majority rule is mob rule. It’s 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner. The filibuster gives they sheep a voice.
What’s to stop Obama from expanding the federal appellate courts from 3 to 9 and loading them with young socialists? What’s to stop them from changing the rules so that any apointee that receives ten yea votes is confirmed? Nothing!
Why do I feel so cold and alone?
