Di apparently believes that the Senate Body cannot legally change its own rules.

Did Byrd receive 67 votes when he changed the rules to 60?

Not unless its the dems trying to get their way. It's pretty clear to me that the dems did not believe that the Republican speakers this morning were going to move away from the arcane rules and tell everyone what's really going on here. He comments are not responsive to that. And by the way, Di, the comity went out of the Senate some time ago. Have you observed your fellow California Senator lately...ever?
