The obstructionists in the U.S. Senate have just one thing in mind ... one goal ... bring the nation to its knees, hurt the nation and its people badly ... and then, they surmize, the voters will rise up, ignore their hateful behavior ... and hand the government over to them. It's an attempt at extortion. Thankfully, but regretable that it came to this ... the U.S. Senate acted responsibly yesterday to limit the damage these traitors have been engaged in.
Perfect, you describe Obama and Obamacare perfectly. Admit it, the only reason you like Obama is you are getting handouts and want more handouts.
Eventually the Democrats will be in the minority. The Democrats thought they would have a lock for decades after the Nixon crap - it didn't last. This Democratic majority won't last for decades either. They aren't going to like this change when that happens.
Like I said, maybe they don't think obstructing nominees is that important, so they don't care if they can't do it when they are in minority.

You mean like they did to....
Robert Bork?
Miguel Estrada?
Priscilla Owen?
Charles Pickering?
Carolyn Kulh?
William Smith?
Deborah Liviingston?
Shalom Stone?
Gene Pratter?
Paul Diamond?
Claude Allen?
Rod Rosenstien?
Terrance Boyle?
Robert Conrad?
Steve Matthews?
Leslie Southwick?
Henry Saad?
And too many more to keep listing? I can easily name 42 others. Have you forgotten the need for the Gang of 14 deal?

The gang of 14 deal happened at a time when 91% of Bush's nominees were approved, 76% of Obama's nominees have been approved......
There are currently double the vacancies on the court than what we had at this time in 2005 when the same fight was going on back then. At this point in his Presidency 91% of Bush's nominees were seated on the court, 76% of Obama's nominee's have been seated so far.
What's you point? How many has obama tried to nominate? How many have the repubs denied through filibuster? (psst, you can count how many they denied on one hand)
Filibuster in itself is ok, but when it is used the way GOP uses it to obstruct EVERYTHING, then it becomes unproductive.
When 50.1% can tell 49.9% what to do, when to do it, and how to do it, you are setting yourself up for a revolution.
2/3 is the only thing keeping this nation from civil war.
