“Since we have a Dem president and a Republican senate, I would take it back to 60 votes for conformation. That would make it very difficult for the president to get anyone approved.”

Absolutely! I think some of the other posters who say keep Reid’s rule change don’t understand this. The Senate needs to go back to requiring 60 votes to advance the un-American Obama’s judicial nominees.
Reid should probably be impeached. I suspect the dirt is out there to do it, but no one will. Some penalty should be imposed by the Senate for his actions.
He violated the Senate’s own rules, and a penalty should be imposed. They have the power to kick him out of the Senate, they will not because they fear the old media too much.
