Bravo to Senator Reid (for once in his sad sack life), who when the Pubs controlled, protected filibusters even more than his package from harm. The reason? Because it makes clear, that any party, at any time, can dump the filibuster, all of it, so at some point, when that party holds the trifecta. And so it will so go perhaps, and we can finally got some accountability in government, rather than one side, not holding all the cards, blames the other for poor results, because some of the agenda was filibustered. Let each party do its thing, and let the voters judge, and if they vote thumbs down, the other party with a majority rather than supra majority rule, can reverse it. Keep at it Harry!
Regardless, something needs to be done about the filibuster: when nothing can get done because literally every piece of legislation is being filibustered, the system needs to be changed. I'm not even necessarily against abolishing the filibuster, but if they're going to keep it, they should
at least force them to read the phone book at midnight.
