Goodbye filibuster?

I honestly think that some of them are starting to believe their own bullshit and actually think that they have a mandate and that the democratic party is history. They don't have any concept of pendulum swing, or the fact that republicans have used this in the past. 10 out of 200 and thats their rallying cry? These guys are fucking babies. It's like we elected a bunch of fuckin' babies.

I wonder if you can use the filibuster to block the filibuster vote? That would be interesting.

Yes. 10 of 200 nominees blocked by filibuster. How unfair! ;)

How many of Clinton's nominees did the republicans block via filibuster? :p

The better question is how many did they block using other similar, rather underhanded and still unconstitutional (using their rather pathetic argument)?

They are proposing and pushing for an end to democracy...Where are all the 2nd amendment supporters? We may be needing your services in a few months.
