Let them try, it will be easier to de-construct Obamacare later.
democrats play dirty
Yep what they really want is to eliminate the filibuster at times like now, when you have a Democrat president and Democrats controlling Congress.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they write this new rule, so that it expires at the end of this Congress. That way, the next time Republicans are in charge of the Senate, they would still be bound by the old rules.
Thye know the game is just about up and American people will want their heads.
Yup.
Now we won’t need 60 seats to kill 0bamacare in 2013.
Bring it on suckers!
Not sure it matters anymore... Most Americans understand that the Constitution is being maligned by the Democrats. It means little that the Senate has just a bit of power left to obstruct. Let them try this in about 7 months...heh.
I remember during the Bush judicial confirmation filibusters reading beaucoup pieces in the NYT and other MSM outlets about how the Senate is to act like a saucer to cool off legislation, blah, blah, blah. It is so [not] amazing that we don't see any editorials along those lines now.
Easy. We reinstate their rules, and use the new rules to kill every Marxist bill they promulgated.
...because of the filibuster rule, they hopefully
don’t have the votes to end the filibuster rule.

wiki sez:
The term “filibuster” was first used in 1851.
It was derived from the Spanish filibustero, which translates as “free booter” or “pirate”.
The term was applied at the time to American adventurers,
who sought to overthrow the governments of Central American states,
and was transferred to the use of the filibuster in debate,
which was seen as a tactic for pirating or hijacking the debate.
This is like the thief that knows he is about to be arrested so he continues to commit crimes with a “oh what the h*ll" attitude.
Thanks American Dream 246.
The Toyota Regime.
We press on the brakes as hard as we can and instead it accelerates out of control over a cliff.
80% of Americans don’t trust this government, and the government in response is hell-bent on screwing us as bad as they can while they can.
Is there any way to recall this product and fine the people who created it and advertised it as fit for consumers? Where are our hearings?
Don’t they need 67 votes for that to happen?
You are assuming the Republicans will have the guts to do so. I am not so sure.
The magnitude of the damage that they will do if they kill the filibuster is staggering to the point in which what happens in November will not matter! You are about to watch a complete and total make over of the Republic into a Socialist/Fascist state! The death of the Republic is near at hand.
They're so desperate to complete the devil's work...but this is their last stand. We take control in 2010.

Just my thought. Only thing that won’t be reversible is if they get amnesty through because of it.
Yes sir’ree, Bob. I am with you. These bastards are coming over the wall.
Or someone charging up their credit cards to the max, knowing they are going to declare bankruptcy.
