Warren: It's Democrats' duty to change the filibuster rules

[BlueCaliDem]

28. BULL. The filibuster rule is a Senate rule and can be done away with or maintained

when a new Senate convenes - or just blown up with the Constitutional Option at any time by the majority.

Do you actually believe the Republicans, should they EVER gain control of the Senate and the WH, would allow the filibuster rule to stand for Democrats to pay them back for their 100% abuse of the filibuster rule these past four years?

You can bet the farm that their first order of business in a Republican controlled Senate would be to kill and bury the filibuster rule posthaste so that nothing can stop them from packing the courts with Alitos and Scalias in favor of replacing this democracy with a pro-corporate, pro-wealthy captains of industry fascist government.

Republicans can dish it, but they can't take it. And these past four years have proven that, leaving us with no doubt what their first order of business would be.

Democrats have been weak and lazy. They've been enablers of Republican obstructionism (because they secretly agree with them), otherwise they would've done away with the filibuster years ago and allowed President Obama to have the people of his choosing in his cabinet and on the courts (the excuse they used for Duhbya Bush when the Democrats made a peep). AFter all, he did win re-election over Mittney with over 5 million more votes, didn't he?
