"What the lazy pimps we have as senators now do is threaten a filabuster, vote in lock step along party lines so 60 votes cannot be garnered and then the bill is dropped because these no good, over paid, fopish fools don't want to subject themselves to a few hours of unpleasantness, as they might miss a good party or a rendevouz with a mistress.

I have no idea what the new leadership has planned, but I have noticed a pattern with President Bush, he is not playing by the old rules. It is possible that the next time a Senator threatens a filabuster, they may actually have to do so.

It would be about damn time. I think the last filabuster was when the crats filibustered the civil rights bill of 68. I'd give almost anything to see Leahey lying on the floor from exhaustion and choking on his tongue.
