Dems short on votes for filibuster reform

88. Yes...and that's my main concern with the filibuster reform idea

I remember when the Republicans held both houses of congress and were busily trying to eliminate the senate filibuster so they could get Dubya's horrible judicial reforms and legislative agenda through

And there were wiser heads in the Republican Party cautioning "don't do this, we won't have the senate majority forever and this will hit us hard when that happens". Thankfully, the Republican proposals to eliminate the filibuster were scuttled and, indeed, the Republicans lost their majority the next time around.

As much as I want to see President Obama and the Democrats achieve all they have set out to do, I am concerned that filibuster reform will hurt Democrats in the future and enable the right wing all that much more when the tide turns
