Personally, I think modifying the senate rules would not necessarily be a good thing. Sure, it would take a lot of testosterone and all, but would it hurt them any more than it hurts us, in the long run?

The article itself mentions that option, and the downside. I definetly think that this is a better option to go with for now. I'm of the opinion that you don't go "nuclear" until you've exhausted all other conventional measures. This was a "conventional" measure that hadn't been tried. If this doesn't work, then there'll be a whole lot more popular support if and when the nuclear option IS tried later, because many more swing voters would agree that everything else had been tried.
