Cass Sunstein: The Obama Administration's Ambivalent Regulator

Monday, June 13, 2011


Harry Reid, the most worthless, useless public servant of them all, or the biggest and best tool Obama has to hide behind when he tries to blame it on Republican­s?

Harry Reid, and Senate rule 22.

Harry Reid 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 in the weeks before and after the midterms of 2010, we heard more big talk from Democrats about changing filibuster rules, and then, "If any change", they said, "only small (insignifi­cant) change".

They then dropped the subject entirely.

The entire Congress, both Democrats and Republican­s, needs to be cleared out.
