If they manage to kill the filibuster I see only one course left to us:

Thanks for the info: I see powerful political ads out of those quotes. Strong music like that America Rising video - quick cuts of photos of the offenders as their quotes sound off in the background.... We should send them thank-you notes. And we should ask the French if they still have any guillotines left that we can borrow. The way these *ssh&les are behaving - we might very well need them. Come to think of it, didn’t the French help us the last time too? Funny how that works, round and round we go...

Would a move like this be enough for Lindsey Graham to stop prancing around with John Kerry on Cap’n Trade and Amnesty?

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.

Yep. That sounds about right.

We have already been converted, they are only putting on the finishing touches.

In 36 months they will start micro-chipping everyone, it’s in the HC bill.

"Don’t they need 67 votes for that to happen?"

No. There's a parliamentary procedure involving a point-of-order that would allow them to do away with the filibuster. It goes WAY back to the early 1800s. This is what is known as the actual "nuclear option"

If they do this, it will destroy the comity in the Senate for the next two generation - perhaps permanently.

I hope the GOP doesn’t bring it back after November then.

Either they’ll stage a successful coup, or dig their own graves.

Make the 2010 Senate races a referendum on ObamaCare.

No Filibuster: No Obamacare on January 20, 2011.

Where in the Constitution does it say the country is to be ruled by parliamentary procedures? These games are being played by bozo’s who have no idea what they’re doing.

My Grandfather once told me: “Son, when you are in a hole the first thing you do is stop digging.” The Dems want to dig themselves a hole that they will never recover from come November. I guess they want to ruin the country before the ouster of this regime. I say less power to them, and fight them every step of the way and then “Vote them out.”

Here’s a related video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClQpS1pLN8g&feature=related

I’m getting real sick & tired of having the Feds do whatever they want, twisting the Constitution and the letter of the law beyond all recognition, all toward the end of beating down the average citizen to live his or her life as they see fit. States? Mere speedbumps along the way.

I’m quite confident that if the Founders could be resurrected, within a few days they’d find out what was going on and would begin to oil up their muskets...because they revolted against King George for less.

He has a lot of Marxist help in the House and Senate.
