Eh, I won't believe it until it happens. Reid may have appeared to grow a spine during the shutdown, but this is like the 3rd time he's threatened this just this year, iirc. I'm not buying it until he actually does something for once.

He won't go through with it is the GOP mostly caves on it like last time.
And I bet the same is true here. Now it's the GOP's move. If they capitulate, they preserve it. If not, I believe Reid will follow through.
I would watch Rob Ford and Tray Radel celebrity rehab so hard.

Did he get his drugs from the coke brothers?
No, basically everyone born before 1980. The Reaganites are the worst

Why I wish Barney Frank would've run for Senate to replace Kerry, despite being old.

Nah, I'm OK with saying, that for the most part, every day somebody old, white, and Southern dies, it's probably a good thing for the future of the country. Feel bad for their family and all, but in the long run. Notice I'm sure they'll the same thing about me in 2095 when the issue is whether to subsidize Brainboxes for All or not.
Yeah, he said the same in 2010 and 2012.
Hahaha.

I kinda understand what Levin is getting at, but I feel it doesn't apply to the whole filibuster thing. I mean, think of a Constitution that simply required a majority to change.
But in this case, we're talking about parliamentary procedures, and the rules change every session anyways.

I wonder how he wraps his brain around the fact that the only reason why we have the filibuster in the first place is senate rule changes enacted by the majority

Seriously. By his own argument, the filibuster is lawless.

I bet he's calling senators alongside McCain right now, unofficially whipping against Reid's action.
So I was waiting to see how long it would take for Obama to express his hatred of Abraham Lincoln, and it seems I have to wait no more:

Levins argument will eventually lose resonance because the elder statesmen who remember when things got done will be replaced by those who only know obstruction

The civil war was Lincoln's Obamacare
Obama is Licoln's Obamacare

Is this like the first time ever that the right-wing's complained about Lincoln not getting much appreciation? Normally, conservatives invoke his name during racial arguments to remind everyone that he was a Republican and therefore Republicans can't ever be racist.
Anything to make Obama look bad for their base. Remember Feetonovalofficetablegate or nosuitjacketintheovalifficegate?

Scott Walker To GOP: If You Want To Beat Hillary, Nominate Me.
BTW James Carville came to speak at my university last night and someone asked him about 2016.
He said he expects the race to be Hillary vs. Walker, and that there's no chance of Christie getting nominated.

Honestly, not a bad prediction.
What about for more parking space?

Oh god Walker would actually worry me just because I have no idea how the fuck he's managed to do what he has in Wisconsin and he might somehow pull something similar with the nation

He hasn't said anything bluntly racist or anti-gay, he's not a cartoon evil CEO boss (in fact, he doesn't have a fancy college degree), and he really took it too those unions. So, in theory, Hispanic's, suburbanites who look down at teachers and other public employees, and the 'drink a beer with' demographic.

I was hoping to not see the Crazy Train until after midterms. Guess we're starting this locomotive off early.
Would Walker be that formidable of a candidate? I always read him as a Teabagger who got lucky in a crappy election cycle for Dems, who then even got luckier when a local plan to recall him turned out to be a total clusterfuck.
tbh, if Walker is the nominee, I say Hillary picks Feingold as her VP nominee.
