Wasn’t the nuclear option (bypassing Dems filibuster) what contributed to the ending of Newt Gingrich's career and helped get Clinton another term as President? The same thing could happen here, anyone that is perceived to have had the brain fart idea of bypassing the filibuster can kiss his career in the Senate goodbye. Rightfully so.
That being said its been used by both parties in the past, Clinton's tax increases in 1993 and Bushes tax cuts in 2001 and 2003. My opinion is it is being used as leverage, leaving the idea dangling all the while having no intention of using it.
In the meantime keep feeding RNC money to Minnesota hoping in a vain attempt at blocking number 59 from being seated. :mrgreen:
