The Patriot Post® · Reid's Shot Across the Bow

Back in November, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) surprised many by going nuclear and eliminating the filibuster for judicial nominees. Now Reid is even seemingly warning that the filibuster for legislation isn’t off limits. “This filibuster that they so love is not part of the Constitution,” Reid said, feigning concern for that dusty parchment. “It’s a privilege, not a right.” Reid also complained that the nation was “paralyzed” by the “craziness” of a small band of Republicans, but he wouldn’t rule out another rules change. If he’s going to do it, though, it will be soon – before the midterm elections in November when the GOP might just retake the chamber.
