Thanks neverdem:
If the Senate rules are now settled, I think McConnell got more than Reid, IMHO.

I have thought forever that only live filibusters should be allowed, with 67 votes for cloture, and I still do.

The practice of “announcing” a filibuster without actual speaking is a recent development, and it sucks.

I would try to trade a move from 60 back to 67 with a “live debate only” rule.

Evil lurks somewhere in every "DEAL" especially a deal reached with communist such as Reid...
