They are going to do some very crooked things and don't want to have negotiations over it. Live and learn folks. [/quote] Just a line to say thanks for the information you provide :-). [/quote]

Harry Reid is as tired as many of us are of the Republicans’ abuse of the filibuster. Now 60 votes has become a recent Senate “requirement” in order to enter and exit the amendment and debate process. Without that, a majority could pass legislation, as used to be the norm. But the GOP has threatened to block time and time again, and without a consistent caucus of 60 votes to overcome that, legislation can’t get through.
