I made this point before, I’ll make it again. If Obama is in power, and the Republicans run the Senate (or if they don’t), I LIKE THE FILIBUSTER, as it forces at least some conservative Republicans to support anything or anyone going through the Senate.
In other words, with a filibuster, 41 votes can block one of Obama nut-jobs from getting a cabinet post, or getting on a court - without the filibuster 51 votes are needed to block. 41 votes means that all of the RINOs can side with the Democrats, and yet still NOTHING gets through if the conservatives hold together, and that includes gun control, global warming, nothing.
When, and if, a Republican becomes president, then we should end the filibuster, for sure.
I’d let the Dems suffer for at least the first term of a Republican presidency. THEN go back to the way it was.
All this proves is the republicans want the chairs but not the responsibility. With the possibility of a conservative president the establishment wants, I repeat, wants, to stop any originalist from getting on the courts so they will use the democrats to do it for them...
