Anthony Weiner Provides 'Halftime Report' For Health Care Repeal Debate

Thursday, January 20, 2011


Harry Reid, by the way, has always had the ability to play hardball with the GOP on filibuster­s, and force them to actually filibuster instead of merely threatenin­g to, but he's refused to do it.  Rule 22.  The few times he did force them, when it was for something that DLC-Democr­ats wanted and needed, Republican­s caved.  

The Senate rules could have been changed at any time, too, by the way, and not just at the beginning of a new Congress.  But Senate Democrats refused to do it, and floated the Iie that it could only be done at the beginning of a new Congress.  The joke is that they aren't going to change the filibuster rule now either at the beginning of this new Congress.  If they change it at all, it won't be any appreciabl­e change.
