Reid lost his BEST REPUBLICAN last June when Cantor was unhorsed in his Primary.

Apparently Cantor was on board with joining the DEMOCRATS in “overturning” Supreme Court decisions that went against the liberals.

Bottom line...don’t worry too much here, but never drop your guard either.

I will piss on his grave if he gets one. Chances are they’ll cremate the traitor.

This is purely a PR stunt.

The Dems are waiting for the next Supreme Court appointment to permanently shift the balance to the progressive wing. At that point the Supremes will rewrite the Constitution case by case.

“...Reid has zero idea how Constitutional amendments happen...”

Uh...by executive order, right?

Did Hitler, Lenin, or Stalin have to bother with a constitution...?

Fidel certainly doesn’t have to - so why should Harry Reid?

If the Congress is firmly under control of the Pubes/Conservatives, the USSC then becomes a lame duck court. Screw em!

“If the Congress is firmly under control of the Pubes/Conservatives, the USSC then becomes a lame duck court. Screw em!”

A Republican Congress is not necessarily a conservative Congress, particularly when led by Boehner and McConnnell. McConnell is on the record of saying he will restore the filibuster. If he does, Reid will be able to block everything the Republicans try to do.

Don’t forget, Republican Senators voted for both Sotomayor and Kagan. Ginsburg was confirmed with only 3 Republicans voting no, even though she was the general counsel for the ACLU!

The left demands free speech so it is free to say all manner of destructive and libertine things, but the instant that a conservative group has an effective public voice, the left will move heaven and earth to shut them up.

To kick off Harry Reid's promotional tour of Wellstone’s idea, I think Reid should recreate Wellstone’s famous last flight.

How true. I was thinking similarly when I posted this, but also thought that the Pubes that lack backbone would then be swayed again by the majority. But yes, it is a wildcard.
