House leaders have been pressing Reid to intensify the fight with Republicans by forcing them to filibuster major bills rather than holding failed cloture votes and criticizing the GOP after bills are pulled from the floor.

That fissure broke into the open last week when House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) acknowledged asking Reid to stage more filibusters.

"That is the only way you can give Americans a clear view of who is obstructing change," Hoyer said

I had no idea that Stenny "got it". Ne wwe rhave to convice Harry.
