McConnell says ‘Killed The Senate’ Will Be On Reid’s Tombstone [View all]

It was a reference to the minority leader's comment on the Senate floor Thursday morning that the tombstone of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) would say that he presided over the "end of the Senate" if the Democrat follows through with his threat to kill the filibuster.

Reid said Thursday he would set up test votes next week on seven executive nominations and threatened to change the filibuster rules if Republicans don't approve the nominations.
