Reply #2: The 'Nuclear Option'

[earthside]

The Democrats in the U.S. Senate should change the rules ... just as the radical Republicans threatened to do over the judicial confirmation votes.

Aren't we all sick and tired of the Democrats in the Senate being Mr. Nice Guy -- and then played for a sucker by the Repugs?

Aren't we ready for some dramatic fights?

Let's also hope that enough frustration has set in that NO Iraq-occupation funding bill ever even gets to the Senate (or House) floor.

Or if we don't see a meaningful and substantive battle over Iraq -- maybe that Congressional approval rating can get down to five percent.
