Republicans should now scream for an up or down senate vote on repealing Obamacare.

The rules change only applied to certain Judicial appointments. The real danger is that they set a precedent for changing the rules to a simple majority. Now, there are no rules that a simple majority can not change. We now have rule by the tyrannical majority.

“The rules change only applied to certain Judicial appointments”

Doesn’t matter. Republicans should start screaming. “certain?” you mean for political expediency while Americans cannot have health coverage because of political expediency?

They can win on this issue. Just like the rats wanted an up or down on the budget, Republicans should now want an up or down on Obamacare, and Reid just set the precedent for it.

Change the rules and allow the up or down vote.
