“Trent Lott seems to have come out of the woodwork with lots of bad (and anti-conservative) advice for Mitch McConnell.”

I think a lot of FReepers do not have the best understanding of this issue. Even Trent Lott, just as a broken clock, can be right occasionally by happenstance.
As long as the anti-American Obama is president, the 60 vote closure rule should be kept - at least for judicial nominees votes.
Sorry, House...
For Obama’s last two years, the Republicans will control the Senate — but NOT with a 60 vote majority. Yet!
A simple majority rule mean that Congress can pass bills that cut spending and pare waste and Obama can no longer hide his big-spending idiocy behind Harry Reid.
