When Reid threatened to do the same, you did not think it was a wise thing to do...now it is a return to constitutional governemt. Are you just intellectually dishonest or a hypocrite?

MM 1/24/13 Despite all the bluster at the end of the day he wisely chose not to pursue a short term advantage that could have been a long-term nightmare for Dems.  So they have decided not to change the filibuster rules.  Very smart Harry as I think you understand only too well what could happen in the 2014 mid term elections, especially as the reality of Obamacare becomes more fully realized and people are PO'd about it.  The minority party has used this legislative advantage to temper the majority aspirations and what is good for the goose would also be good for the gander.

MM 11/22/13 Funny how when the GOP controlled the Senate all we heard from Harry and his band of miscreants is how the rules of the Senate for the last 250 years protected the rights of the minority but now all of the sudden they vote to change them being the abject hypocrites that they are.  And we all know why.  They realize they are going to get blasted to pieces in 2014 and they want to do as much damage to the country as they can between now and then.  The only thing stopping them was the right of the minority to require 60 votes for cloture.  This is all about the nomination of activist judges and uber leftists to the administration.

Well here's my prediction, when they do lose their majority they will once again whine about the lost rights of the minority and realizing the stupidity of the GOP they will probably roll over and restore the need for 60 votes to get to cloture.  The reason the GOP didn't go nuclear when they had the votes is simple, they recognized that what goes around comes around and did not want to give up this right when they were in the minority.  Dems I am sure think they can have their cake and eat it too and no doubt the leftist govt media will go along with their hypocrisy.
