Senate Democrats are going to be working over the Christmas break to deliver a lump of coal to the American people in the form of a radical changing of the Senate's rules. This is a naked power grab by liberals in the Senate pure and simple.
The National Journal reports that Senate Democrats are laying the groundwork to chip away at the filibuster on January 5, 2011. They are going to push the idea that a simple majority of the Senate can abolish the filibuster rules, or radically change the rules, in a new Congress.

Senate confirms judges; and, alas! the Founding Fathers, IIRC, had the foresight to put roadblocks in the way of the House suddenly cutting the pay of judges.
"However," he said, suddenly brightening, "there should be nothing preventing the House of Representatives from pulling that stunt on funding staffers for the Senate; on the IRS; and on all of Obama's non-confirmed Czars, their staffs, and associated bureaucracies."
Cheers!

Bambi II.. this time there will be blood!
You just are joke fodder for me, you know that -right?
And you were off by one year, the year you wee trying to allude to is “1776”.
But you idiot Dems don't know American history as you don't want the ‘history of oppressive dead white guys’ taught anymore since you much prefer the history of “OBSESSIVELY OPPRESSIVE dead COMMUNISTS” to our own.
Anti-freedom boot licking toady, may you live under my buried garden gnome.

No ruling class in the history of the world has went quietly into the night...There will be blood. Actually, see the revolutions in Eastern Europe in 1989 and the end of apartheid in South Africa.
BTW, nice try on the trolling.
