Reid gives GOP 36 hours to negotiate filibuster reform-OR-he will move forward with nuclear option

37. I think it should be done, but Dems better be willing to face the consequences.

I'm sick of the repukes bullshit too. More than sick of their obstructionism. But the things that are happening in some of the states with gerrymandering congressional districts to ensure permanent (at least until the 2020 Census anyway) repuke rule, and then beginning their efforts to change the Electoral College by using the gerrymandered-won seats to allocate EC outcome based on the number number of seats held by the respective parties, has ominous implications for Democrats going forward. If the repukes regain the WH in 2016 (which statistically is likely even without the vote rigging going on in the states), the Dems would then face the same set of consequences that they are trying (justifiably) to do with filibuster reform. They won't be able to successfully block senate action through the filibuster process in future and the resulting outcome won't be pretty.

That said, they should proceed. But what goes around comes around.
