but they know full well that when one of them gets in there he'll stack the courts just like every other president before him, every single one. They wanted the dems to use this nuclear option and they pigeon holed them into doing it. Infact, I wouldn't be surprised at all if both sides got together and agreed that it would be just better to have simple majority from now on. Could be a power move on the tea party to an extent as well. Now when republicans are back in control they have the potential to completely ignore the tea party if they have enough regular republicans to hit the simple majority. Who knows, I would just hope by now that you all realize what goes on infront of the camera up there is a well scripted broadway act. McConnel and Reid may not be drinking buddies, all though it wouldn't surprise me if they were, but they're certainly on the same page when it comes to preserving the two heads of the same coin paradigm that's run our govt now for a very long time.
