Eh, constitution, the "nuclear option" on changing filibuster rules you mention was ONLY associated with "advise and consent" votes for Supreme Court justice nominees. This is a SENATE RULE and not a Constitutional power. <br> <br> A real filibuster is about blocking LEGISLATION, a far more important parliamentary tool than the grand-standing BS associated with votes on justices.<br> <br> If the Senate has a filibuster proof majority, the majority leader can get all sorts of odious bills passed and dump them on the House. Since the House is democrat controlled AND the Whitehouse is soon to be occupied by a Democrat, the filibuster is the ONLY tool available to the minority party to block majority proposed legislation.<br> <br> You really need to pick a different handle. Constitution really isn't appropriate, considering your post content...
