I can't believe it

I may have given Republicans too much credit a few days ago when I suggested they wouldn't really go for the abolition of the fillibuster. Even if they assume they will control the Senate for another 20 years, it is a foolish move. And yet, these people actually believe that upper-class tax cuts stimulate growth. My bad.

There remains the possibility that this is still just some boogeyman issue. I haven't heard a whisper of fillibustering anyone other than the judges rejected last term. Maybe the Repubs are just using the obstructionist threat to get whatever else they want through...I don't know.
