I assume you were watching Rachel.

She said that if this happened then the 60 vote threshold would kick in. Right now The Senate only needs 51 votes to deal with this nonsense.. No way in hell Reid is going to let filibustering start.

Reid is not going to crack. Time to settle this mess once and for all - I hope Dems do not budge.

about the fact that the Dems already gave concessions on the budget. Obama wanted over a trillion dollars so that he could end the Sequester but the Senate gave in and passed a budget nearly identical to Ryan's budget.
