It's not obstruction when you're the majority; it's controlling the agenda.

As long as the 60 vote cloture rule is in effect the majority will never control the agenda, at least not unless you are as ruthless as Dingy Harry was.

Truth is a lot of those Republicans would vote against conservative measures if they weren't let off the hook by the 60 vote rule. Which is why Mitch won't bring that up, besides I doubt if he could get 50 votes even though the first time the Democrats get the majority again they will kill it for sure.
