Democrats Invoke ‘Nuclear Option’ in Senate - ABC News
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.
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.
