Because President Obama and the Dems have been getting trashed over the Obamacare debacle, I have been concerned to see what they might do in terms of a response - go into a a fetal thumb-sucking position or come out snarling like a rabid dog. Rabid dog is the winner!
Harry Reid's Senate, the same Harry Reid who railroaded Obamacare through with a perversion off Senate rules, led Dems today in kicking over the ancient Senate filibuster rule on everything except Supreme Court appointments. It is an incredibly stupid move that will come back to bite them in the kabooty when Republicans regain the Senate, which they will at some point, and use this against the Dems to ram through their own agenda. The filibuster rule is designed to empower the minority and require at least some bipartisan consensus in governing the country. In the meantime, though, Harry and the Beasts look like they are going to try a reprise of the Obamacare caper to impose a Leftist flavor to everything before their hands are pried from power. Except this time the House is solidly in Republican and can block all of the shenanigans - if House leadership hangs tough. Hang tough. Help is coming in 2014.
