You are right Josh, there is some major BS going on here. I can't figure it either. The only this makes sense is if the pubbies want to preserve the fillibuster for their own use at some future time when they are in the minority. But, if that's the case, then I don't see what all the hoopla has been about.

If the Reps go back to being the Minority, opps they aready are, then unlike NOW, the MSM will paint the Filibuster as being "BAD" and Reps breaking with 214 year old tradition.

And the LOSER Reps will DESERVE IT!

Are you delusional? In the future the 'Rats would not hesitate one milisecond to drop the nuclear option, the neutron option, the star wars option and every other dirty trick let's-change-the-rules again option they can manufacture!

Does anyone really believe that given the same situation (Republican minority holding up Democrat president nominees with a filibuster) the Democrats won't wait 2 seconds to change the rules???

Another loss for those of us who worked hard to get Republican majorities in Congress. This Republican will probably give up completely on the political process - it doesn't work for the ordinary citizen.

"New World Order" or "One World Government" mean anything to you?
