[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 921695, member: 22662"] Consider the political climate of the day. Suppose republicans get not only the presidency but also the senate in 2012. Do you think for a moment that democrats in the senate won't use the threat of a fillibuster to stop every piece of legislation they don't like? We've seen the power of the minority in the flexed by the Tea Party crowd in the House. Senate minority leaders hold even more power. It doesn't make it right, but do you expect one side to unilaterally disarm? [/QUOTE]
