We will be disarmed. If we use the filibuster, the democrats (who again have no consistant principles other than power) won't think twice before "reluctantly" changing the rules due to the petty partisan tactics used by the republicans against eminently qualified candidates for office.

If they hadn't figured out before how to do it, we've certainly told them now.

And the MSM won't ever use the term "nuclear option" against them (of course nobody on their side will be stupid enough to CALL it that).

And the MSM won't ever use the term "nuclear option" against them " of course not ... the MSM will only use the scary adjectives for things the GOP does. For example, let's suppose the GOP becomes the minority, and then the GOP decides to 'aha, let's do what the Democrats did to us'. ... one can easily predict a future New York Times headline, should it come to pass:

"Filibuster: Tactic of segregationists now used by GOP"

and

"GOP stubbornly denies (LibDem) President their 'advice and consent' with unprecedented and controversial Filibusters"

Of course, it will be called 'unprecedented' even if the Dems did the same. It is 'controverisal' because the MSM makes it so ... They will go on to show that 80% of people polled are against the GOPs filibuster tactics (after calling them a 'denial of an up or down vote for Presidential nominees as required in the Constitution'), etc. "
