Yeah, heaven forbid we actually have some restraint on congressional power.

McCain’s “Gang of 14” prevented the GOP leadership from eliminating the filibuster and quite frankly saved the GOP’s butt this past year.

Would you trust Harry Reid with a filibuster-proof majority? I sure as heck wouldn’t.

Thank you. I get tired of repeating that over and over. Actually, it probably saved the Iraq War.

I hate to tell you this but they were not going to eliminate the fillibuster.

They were considering making it easier to break a fillibuster.
