With the passage of the "nuclear option", the Republican Senators might as well go on home to their districts. They could apologize to their constituents and advise the people they used to represent as to how to best protect themselves.
Any remaining vestiges of a government comprised of 3 branches died today with the Senate vote.
A simple majority rather than a 2/3rds vote will now allow passage through the senate. With 55 Democratic Senators, a 51 vote is nearly assured so every Democratic initiative will sail through. We are now, officially at the mercy of the Alinsky-trained Progressives.
Carl Levin, Michigan, Joe Manchin, W. Virginia and Mark Pryor, Arkansas all Democrats, deserve thanks for their vote against this power grab.
This is another successful "distract and destroy" mission by Obama. While we were busy trying to figure out how to get health insurance and how to pay for it, they slipped this one through.
This is a slimy, sneaky, unprincipled way to grab total control. Harry Reid is power hungry, awful man. Those who follow him are no better.
