Boehner and McConnell will never ever do that, though.

Tit for tat. You kill my dog, I kill your cat. The slimbs that figured out the “tricky, little-known maneuver” just out maneuvered themselves and I am love’n it!

They ought to know ... they wrote the book on tricky-little know maneuvers.

They’ll all be up in their trees like a bunch of howler monkeys when the shoe is on the other foot.

Bank on it.

Buwahahahahaha.

My little brother used to hate when inwould use his rule interpretations against him. He was immature and we were using monopoly money... Just like the US Congress.

Panty wastes. All of them.

"schadenfreude !!!"

Indeed, if the GOPe had cajones. However I expect a power sharing arrangement to show bipartisanship and trust on behalf of the likes of McConnell, McCain, and Graham. Being liked is better after all than standing on principles.(s/)

I don’t like when either side plays numbers games. Sadly, to get things back on the right track, we’re going to have to use the same tactics at least in part.

What a colossal screw up!

We could only hope the Republicans would use that “little known trick.” But alas, Republican Politicians still aren’t smart enough to learn from tricks invented and used by democrats.

Wait until the Dems in the Senate want to filibuster a judicial nomination. The nation will erupt to screams of “unconstitutional power grabbing by Republicans”. Don’t expect any me ntion of Harry Reid being the architect of that Senate rule change.

We’ve got a lot of meatheads here that are perfectly fine with the republicans not gaining control of the senate.

"compromise with Republicans and bring back a bill to the Senate that could garner a large bipartisan majority. Or they could ignore the election results in Massachusetts and pull an unprecedented legislative maneuver, essentially switching from regular order to reconciliation at the eleventh hour, thereby bypassing any need for Republican support."

I believe the article is incorrect. There was a threat to use Reconciliation, but in the end they just had the House vote on the version that had already passed the Senate, with 60 votes, and avoided using the Reconcilliation process.

If the RINOs take the Senate, it will be back to 60...maybe 70 for good measure!

What Harry Reid will do is if they lose the senate, then during the time between the election and before the new senate is sworn in, he’ll change the rules of the senate to forbid use of such rules as they have used....................
