the filibuster has become the tool of the sore loserThat's telling it like it is Senator Harkin! On the subject of "loser" go reign in that loser of yours Al Gore and remind him to read this article.

I love it when the Democrats get tangled up in their own traps.

"By the time the measure came to a fourth vote--with votes occurring no more frequently than every second day--cloture could be invoked with only a simple majority. Under the Harkin plan, minority members who feel passionately about a given measure could still hold it up, but not indefinitely."

SUPERB FIND!!!

Someone should post this on DU with no added commentary. See how long it would last.

Forgive me for being a bit stupid, buy why is it that this information is not being distributed to everyone with a brain or a computer by the GOP? Why is it that OXENinFLA had to do the GOP's work for them? Don't they have access to Lexis-Nexis? Yikes!
To: CaptainK
What REALLY troubles me is that this post, which I believe has enormous significance, might very well evaporate into the blogworld abyss. Why would we let that happen?
To: OXENinFLA; Smartass; MeekOneGOP; tame
Excellent research!
The NYT wanted to end the filibuster when the GOP minority used it......It's the usual double standard!
For the NYT the Dems can do no wrong and the GOP is always wrong.

Surprise.....NYT urged that the filibuster be 'retired' in 1995 when Harkin & Lieberman proposed that a simple majority could eventually end one.....ping
