Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid confirmed Monday he will push to change Senate rules and curtail some Republican filibusters next year, setting up a major test of collegiality and power politics in the usually chummy chamber that bills itself as “the world’s most exclusive club.”
Republicans said that if Mr. Reid goes ahead, he’ll not only ruin the unique nature of the Senate, but he’ll poison chances for bipartisan cooperation just as members of the next Congress are taking their seats in January.
The back-and-forth spilled over onto the Senate floor Monday, with Mr. Reid facing off against Sen. Mitch McConnell, the chamber’s top Republican, in a rare and acrid head-to-head debate. More
Reminds me of what Teddy Kennedy did. When Kennedy came down with cancer, he lobbied to get the law changed in Mass., that if a Senator dies, instead of being appointed by the Gov(at that time, Republican Mitt Romney) it would instead go to a special election. Then, as he was dying and Scott Brown was leading in the polls, he lobbied to have the law changed back to appointed by the Governor. Both of those guys(ol' Teddy, and Harry) are turds.
