It's a rule created by the Senate, and which has been abused by the minority, so it was revoked by the Senate. Let's see how fast the GOP will be to reinstate it if they regain the upper chamber. My guess is we'll never see it put back in place by either party.
Which means the Democrats will regret this action. I hope they do.
On the other hand, Republicans have always been fair minded (often to the degree of shooting themselves in the foot). I suspect that they will re-establish it. It would be the right thing to do.
Yes God help us all if that lying pile of dirt takes over. Note how she is running silent and deep. I guess she has no opinion on Obamacare at all?? lol

It has always been abused, but part of the reason it is so abused now is how unreasonable Harry Reid has been on every level. Reid is a restoring sore on the ass of America. He is an example of what is exactly wrong in DC.

You are correct. Reid and a lot of these dinasaurs on both sides of the aisle need to go home. They are the ones screwing everything up and after they do they stand around blaming each other and declaring they are the only ones who can fix it. Just leave us the hell alone. Being a congressor wasn't supposed to be a career.

LOL. I swear your posts are a great example of Poe's Law. No one could truly be that naive. "Republicans have always been fair minded." You really are hilarious.
And if you honestly believe they will re-establish it when they have the opportunity then there really is no help or hope for you.

Yeah, how unreasonable, trying to fill judicial vacancies. What a scoundrel.
Except that for the last few years, the minority has ruled in the Senate. They have abused the use of the filibuster to a ridiculous degree, one that goes way beyond simply protecting the voice of the minority. If they had respected the process, this wouldn't have been necessary. But alas, the Tea Party doesn't know the meaning of that word, so there you have it.
Incidentally, the filibuster was not part of the Constitution. It was a rule the Senate created itself. If the GOP is so upset about it being removed, if and when they return to the majority they can put it back in place. I sincerely hope you hold your breath while waiting for that to happen.
That leaves out this part of Reid's history of the past few years;
