Harry Reid teams up with Mitch McConnell to lecture Chris Dodd: only Republicans get to declare filibuster and win. Democrats, members of the majority party, members of Reid’s own party, have to actually filibuster. New rules: it takes 60 votes to get something Democrats want; it takes only 51 to get something Republicans want, and to this day, it takes only a word from George Bush, the worst and most unpopular president in history, and he gets what he wants.
What are Hillary and Obama, alleged supporters of Dodd’s filibuster, actually going to do to support him? Nothing, most likely, though a word from either would probably stop Reid in his tracks.
