3. I Think The Repugs Are Going To Put Out A Bill.....

that will kill the ability for the Dems. to filibuster nominees. It would be a rules change. I talked to a staffer in the cloakroom about this. Frist and our buddy Zell are sponsoring the bill. The shit will hit the fan if this bill goes to the floor.

Essentially, it will mean that every nominee will get passed through. The problem for the Repugs is that, if they don't get the majority next election, it will turn on them and they will be the ones to suffer big time.
