| Anonymous Coward User ID: 5685018 United States11/21/2013 11:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Breaking now - Quoting: Translations Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is looking to change the rules of the filibuster in the Senate. This would allow several of President Obama's judicial nominees whom have been stalled by Republicans to go through. It would also limit further filibuster capabilities!

| Translations (OP) User ID: 29099088 United States11/21/2013 11:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm thinking that the Republicans can get around this by ceding cloture on the three nominees every news source is talking about. That would allow an up or down vote to decide whether they should be approved or turned away. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 48503753 United States11/21/2013 12:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What is funny is that the left will be the first ones to complain if the Republicans win majority control in 2014 and use these exact rules against them. Quoting: Translations They did in 2010 too. They got a rule change, but when the Republicans used the same rule (that they changed), the Dems cried foul and wanted it changed back. Can't remember the specific rule used, though. |

You get your toys taken away. Just like babies who can't behave. Just saying "NO" to everything is not governing. It's just saying "NO" and really the reason the republicans lost the last election. I hope they enjoy their legacy along with the segregationists of being on the wrong side of history.  |

Do you find the timing of this coincidental with the passing of the Upton Bill, or the flack that the White House has taken over the ACA launch? |
