Go nuclear. The Harry Reid Gambit.

This is what I have been saying for months.

McConnell should (but won't) announce that if the Democrats continue to filibuster DHS funding he will have no choice but to invoke the Reid Rule (be sure and call it that) and unilaterally change the rules to eliminate filibusters by majority vote.

Then do it.

The Democrats and the lamestream media arm of the Democrat party will go nuts. Sucks to be them. Elections have consequences and so does Reid unilaterally changing the rules when he was in power.

Will it come back to bite Republicans in the ass when the Democrats retake control of the Senate someday (maybe as soon as 2016)? No, it won't. The Democrats have already proven that they will do whatever they want when they are in power regardless of what the Republicans do or do not do to them.

It is long past time to stop letting the Democrats set the rules of engagement.
