Well I think that the nuclear option will be instituted...and I think that it will fail with all Democrats, Jeffords, and six moderate Republicans joining the Democrats.

I think the fillibuster needed to be eliminated years ago. Its nothing more than a kid sticking his fingers in his ears and reciting "I'm not listening to you, Im not going to go to bed" If I used a similar tactic to delay doing my job at work (or you for that matter) I would be fired.

The filibuster has always struck me as being a slap at majority rule. Agreed, sometimes the majority is a little shaky. Last night I was dragged to a party where it seemed it was a mixed bag of libs and cons but the majority thought the "nuclear option" referred to North Korea.
