Harry Reid broke the filibuster forever when he used the nuclear option to pass Obama Care. The Filibuster is a “dead letter,” it is not pinning for the fjords, it is nailed to its perch, it is a dead f-—ing parrot. The filibuster is no more.
The real problem is the Republicans do not have the balls to use the nuclear option as did Harry Reid. I loath the Republican leadership on slightly less than Harry Reid.
Actually, Reid used budget reconciliation to pass 0care. The filibuster started to die when, as stated in the article, in 2013 Reid nuked it to allow confirmation of 0bama department nominees and judicial nominees to lower courts.
