There are two ways of avoiding the 60 seat senate rule/vote :

1) Budget reconciliation
2) Change the rules, as Dem Alan Greyson called for. With 50 Senators plus Biden.

I just don't see either. #1 has too many limitations, #2 may have been headed off by the Gang of 14 moderates that we conservatives cursed(over judges 2006).

In fact this is a great test, if Dems do change the rules, RINOS were wrong, if they don't the RINOs are heroes. (I actually was very angry at Gang of 14, but they may have been right and us wrong.)

What does a judicial filibuster have to do with a legislative bill?
