(6,335 posts)GOP Set to Triple Filibuster Record
How bad is GOP obstructionism in the Senate? Republican senators are on pace to more than triple the previous record for uses of a filibuster in a Congress. In 2009, there were a record 112 cloture votes (the number of cloture votes is how you measure the use of filibusters). So far in 2010, there have already been more than 40 cloture votes. The previous record was in 1995-1996, when the Republican-controlled Senate required 50 cloture votes.

It is called the nuclear option because it is a last resort. I think President Obama was right the other day when he said one side of the the debate in this country wants to fail. Failure can take a lot of hard work sometimes. I think these guys need to do some mental yoga before trying to stretch their logic into these levels of contortion. They are going to end up with an ice cream headache of mammoth proportions.
