Democrats Invoke Nuclear Option in Senate - ABC News
Democrats invoked the so-called nuclear option to change the rules in the U.S. Senate, bypassing Republicans and evading two difficult votes, including one on President Obamas jobs bill.
The procedural precedent, which blocked Republicans from adding more amendments, could speed passage of a bill to punish China for currency manipulation.
It could also open a Pandoras box, forever altering the traditions of the senate and its role on Capitol Hill.
I just hope they don't complain if republicans control the senate in the near future....this bill means that if the dems are in the minority in the future they have no voice either, truly shameful.
Republican obstructionism is whats been controlling the senate. Republicans have used the filibuster more than any time in history by any other party in history. Something has to happen to move the country forward.
Obstructionism is the only thing keeping the country from going under all together. Capitalism is what will move the country forward with free trade, free markets and free minds.
