******

The last time a Republican was president there was no end to the pontificating about giving judicial nominees a "fair up or down vote."

That was then, this is now.

Republicans have filibustered two thirds of President Obama's judicial appointments.

Oh joy...our government has come to a grinding, racial halt. Is this what you had in mind, Mitch McChinless? 

Just about every bill passed by the House, even those with substantial Republican support, have been filibustered.

The filibuster has gone from an accidental aberration in the legislative rules to a stone wall against just about everything.

Only if congress is a bunch of old white men who lunch on pablum.

It has now completely paralyzed the operation of our government.

So, what we’re saying is our President must be stopped at any cost. Isn’t that treason?

The filibuster has been so abused as a tool for obstructionism by the Republicans, complete elimination seems the only alternative.

It is time for our government to work for the people, instead of being mercilessly manipulated by a selfish and mean-spirited minority.

If Democrats are serious about actually getting something done in the next 2 years, first up should be the elimination of the filibuster!

Won’t it just be put back when Republicans are in? 

Republicans have figured out how to abuse it.

They are unAmerican...there is no better way to say that!
