Mel,
But now the Dems have done the Republicans' bidding. Slowly, the filibuster will be removed for other types of procedures... The socialist/liberal agenda that has already been implemented just became easier to dismantle.
I hadn't thought of it that way, but I did have a vague sense that what goes around comes around.

In any case, I see barely a peep from the mainstream media over Reid employing the "nuclear option." This was the same media that became righteously indignant over the Republicans threatening to do just that during the Bush years when the Democrats were the "party of no."

By the way, Mel, here's a quote from the Hypocrite In Chief:

"I urge my Republican colleagues not to go through with changing these rules. In the long run it is not a good result for either party. One day Democrats will be in the majority again and this rule change will be no fairer to a Republican minority than it is to a Democratic minority,"

This was said by Senator Barack Obama from Illinois back in 2005. Flip-flop.
