We do indeed have the votes to break the filibusters, and the first line of action you'll see will be to work off the stalled circuit court nominations.

The RATS no longer have the votes.

The stalled nominees were chosen to meet the approval of the last Senate make-up.

Their passage will prove nothing but what I said- that those who are not obviously pro-life or otherwise popularly rejectable will no longer be filibustered.

Though I'm glad that such moderates will be approved now, I'm going to be ROFL if anyone makes the claim that it shows there is no need to end the cloture rule for nominations.
