Let’s just say it: The Republicans are the problem. - The Washington Post

This is pretty in-your-face for the MSM, particularly the go-along-to-get-along WaPo. WOW!

Reid to call GOP's bluff on filibustering every bill

He goddammed well better!

Filibusterproof Senate

Looks like this isn't going to happen. One recommendation I would make to Sen Reid and the leadership is to change whatever the agreement is that lets the minority filibuster painlessly. As I understand it, the oppo leader (the apparently re-elected and all to apparently execrable Mitch McConnell) can let the Maj Leader know they are going to filibuster and boom, the bill(s) to be filibustered are just magically shunted onto the ashheap of history.

Make the obstreperous bastards stand there in their Depends and babble until they pass out or give in or the majority surrenders. Let America SEE the obstruction. Make the filibusterer pay the price and not be able to just assassinate bills from the shadow, without attribution or cost.

Just my cranky side speaking out, but it makes sense to me, cranky or not.

It's Starting to Sound Like Dodd will Filibuster

... new unimproved FISA bill.

Filibuster

Chris Dodd has announced his next step- if the hold on the FISA bill somehow fails (I'm looking at YOU, Harry Reid!), Dodd will filibuster the damnable bill. This could be fun; it would probably end up having to be an old fashioned 'read the Encyclopaedia Brittanica into the record' kind of filibuster. Think of the good stuff we could glean from the Congressional Record after this! Maybe he'll read all of Shakespeare... be the best quotes in the CR since Fulbright left the Senate!
