Senator Harry Reid @SenatorReid
Thanks to all of you who encouraged me to consider filibuster reform. It had to be done.

They never learn. Never.
Good find.
Thanks!
Live by the filibuster die by the filibuster. Fiddle with tradition at your peril. Dems have nobody to blame but themselves.
Nice. I’ll use that, too.
No, Thank You Harry!!!
I actually remember when he did that. I was unhappy of course. But I also thought, how stupid. Does he not realize that a knife cuts both ways.
Same with “packing” the court. Some on the left say they will; well then when we are in power so will we. And the Supreme Court becomes weak and useless, leaving us with only the executive and legislative branches as “checks and balances.”
UNLESS by winning enough votes you put in the constitution that the SCOTUS shall be composed of 9 members. The the bar is raised to accomplishing court packing.
I’d support that amendment. It is fair to all and keeps our checks and balances in place.
I’d also support a non retroactive amendment requiring retirement at age 75.
