In a shocking development Thursday evening, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) triggered a rarely used procedural option informally called the “nuclear option” to change the Senate rules.

The surprise move stunned Republicans, who did not expect Reid to bring heavy artillery to what had been a humdrum knife fight over amendments to China currency legislation.

Immediately, Boehner needs to de-fund every stinkin’ Democrat-forced Czar, Regulatory Agency, etc.,.....shut the Government down from now until 2012, except for the Military, and let Reid take a tin cup to the curb for his income.

This is quite funny. 2012 Will see Pres, House and Senate Republican. No Filibuster? No Problem. The house won’t pass any stupid Senate Legislation anyway.

It's a fight that Reid just wasted ammunition on since The House doesn't even have to take it up.

That is right. What has changed since 2010? Things have become even worse. We are likely to have an all GOP government. They know it, so they will institute a scorched earth, total war policy.
