President Barack Obama said Thursday that he supports Senate Democrats’ dramatic action to change the chamber’s rules for presidential nominees, saying "enough is enough" when it comes to gridlock on Capitol Hill.
"The vote today, I think, is an indication that a majority of senators believe as I believe that enough is enough," Obama said at the White House. "The American people’s business is far too important to keep falling prey day after day to Washington politics."
Decrying the past "abuse of arcane procedural tactics" to block legislation and nominations, Obama conceded that neither party is blameless in creating gridlock on Capitol Hill.

Tyranny.
“’Enough is enough’
I said the same thing about pResident Buttcrack O’s regime, what a coincidence..
Good. The 2014 election cycles begun already. These guys shot themselves in the foot last time they had this kind of power. It only affects judges and that’s how Obama will change America.
We simply need an aggressive impeachment campaign supported by plenty of evidence presented to the public.
Wonder what they’ll be saying the next time they’re the minority party.
Government dictates your food, your healthcare, has the NSA logging your phone calls, purchases, and NOW...every bureaucrat and judge in the federal system is merely there to be “rubber stamped” by Obamugabe’s apparatchiks in the Senate.
The House could impeach EVERY judge appointed through this process.
They don’t plan on that ever happening again.
There are about 90 judicial slots to fill. I don’t think ANYONE appreciates what a disaster this is. They will be filled by extreme Liberals; every single seat.
This “roll in a grenade and walk away” approach by the GOP is a disaster. America does not think like we do and there is no chance she will if this is all we do. McConnell and the GOP are fools.
I heard they wrote the bill so that if the GOP is ever in power again, this provision goes away...
Total tyranny.

Gee.....filibusters were teh hot in 2004, 2005, 200.....
The GOP can do the same thing - now that the door has been opened.
yup....BUT....will they have the balls to do it?
So there won’t be a sequel to “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington”.
This was forced on the republicans by a imagined crisis. The DC circuit has more than enough judges.
The real question is why did Reid manufacture this crisis which gave him cover to use the nuclear option?
There is another reason for scrambling this egg. I believe the administration must be planning something big before the next election. Loading the courts with radical judges? Sure, but there must be something more because this was a very big step.
Be careful what you wish for, you may just get it.
