I Haven't Seen Much Discussion Here On DU About Reid & The Filibuster...... [View all]

[global1]

I briefly heard McConnell say that if Reid messes with this - Reid would be the worst Senate Majority Leader ever. I know that Reid was only contemplating only one aspect of the filibuster rule and I think that had to do with Executive appointees. But if Reid is going to get the distinction of being the worst Senate Majority Leader ever - why stop at that? He might as well go all the way and employ the nuclear option on all aspects of the Senate and let the chips fall where they may.

I really believe if the shoe was on the other foot that the Repugs wouldn't hesitate. I think McConnell and the Repugs are shuttering in their boots and are trying their hardest to make Reid back down through their rhetoric.

What is the thought here as to what will happen?

Will Reid wimp out again or will he go for it?
