The T
George S. Patton Party
YOU are wrong...Already happened with Reid leading the parade. Where the Hell you been?It makes little difference to shit-brains posters like "The T" that I actually agree with him and have said so repeatedly; Party leadership shouldn't be able to stop legislation for no reason other than it may make their party look bad by voting it down or passing it....
The question in the OP was what happens if the GOP takes over the Senate...I think the first order of business will be to throw out the filibuster.
IDIOT.
No. It was thrown out for one very specific set of circumstances. The GOP has every right to throw it out for everything when they take over later this year.
At least try to do some research before you look even more foolish than normal.
Harry Reid goes nuclear on the filibuster
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and most members of the Democratic conference voted today to eliminate the 60-vote threshold for executive nominations, excluding Supreme Court appointments, after Republicans blocked three appointments to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Executive nominees now need only 51 votes to win confirmation from the Senate. The change was approved by the Senate by a vote of 52 to 48. Three Democrats Sens. Carl Levin (D-MI), Joe Manchin (D-WV), and Mark Pryor (D-AR) joined every Senate Republican to vote against the rule change.
Reid complained that Republicans had forced him to call for the change in Senate rules because of, what he called, unprecedented obstruction and claimed that the its something both sides should be willing to live with to make Washington work again.
