Should Reid resign if Hagel Nomination is held up?

I am tired of people doing stupid things and then facing no consequences. Harry Reid made a major blunder when he did not push through filibuster reform. It is already having historic consequences. This is one of the reasons progressives are in the majority and yet cannot get anything done. I don't care what the reasons were. Harry Reid didn't have the votes is not a good excuse. He is the Senate majority leader. If you can't bring his own people along on such a fundamental issue he should not be in a position of power. He is being humiliated in front of the world in slow motion and it is nobody's fault but his own. The other senators who went against filibuster reform should suffer consequences as well. We keep saying that press does not hold Washington insiders responsible for the consequences of their terrible mistakes but do we do the same thing? I am disgusted at this spectacle. Mitch McConnell is laughing behind his fog filled glasses. Enough! Enough! Enough! of the petitions begging Harry Reid to do the people's will. He doesn't care. There needs to be a major movement to remove Harry Reid from his position is Hagel is filibustered and there is no direct consequence of filibuster reform. Actions, especially stupid, destructive actions must have consequences. The famous definition of insanity - that you keep banging your head against the wall hoping something different will happen.

End of rant, but also if he does not act I hope the beginning of the end for Reid.
