    Republicans Win Big on Nuclear Option, Democrats Are Toast.

    Shewd moves by our Party and bumbling ineptness by Democrats put Republicans in the D. C. driver's seat.

    By making it impossible to filibuster court nominees, Democrats will be unable to hide homers Obama has sent up for judges. Republicans can start naming homers. The filabuster process made it difficult to bring this up because of the decorum Senators are supposed to maintain.

    Praise Jesus, Republicans will sweep the next elections.

    Democrats ditch historic U.S. Senate rule blamed for gridlock

    By Thomas Ferraro and Richard Cowan WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate, in a historic and bitterly fought rule change, stripped Republicans on Thursday of their ability to block President Barack Obama's judicial and executive branch nominees. The action fundamentally altered the way Congress' upper chamber has worked since the mid-19th century by making it impossible for a minority party, on its own, to block presidential appointments, except those to the U.S. Supreme Court. The change in the so-called "filibuster" rule does not apply to legislation, which can still be held up by a handful of senators. The action will undoubtedly come back to haunt Democrats the next time they lose the Senate and the White House simultaneously.

      I knew Hairy Reed was too weak to go nuclear! All he did was pass some new rules. They didn't even explode. Ha!

          Yeah, there's nothing that brings the voters out to the polls in droves than a good Senate procedural issue. The Democrats really blew it this time!

                  There isn't a problem that can't be solved with a nuke!

                      I always though Gary True Doe was some kind of Indian liberal. But he captures the Republican victories quite well.
