I'm not sure the filibuster is a problem when the dems got the go ahead to put the bill through with 51 votes, like they did with the stimulus.
The ultimate and constant hypocrisy of the gop is they have used the same technique for decades and all of a sudden it's a bad thing for the dems to do.
And since when does anyone have to ask the gop for permission or acceptance to do anything.
And munchkin machin truly appears to be a republiqan in dem disguise mole. I think both parties have been infiltrating each other for a 100 years.
