      @chrisgeidner I don’t think that’s true. If they hadn’t gone nuclear, McConnell would be doing it anyway if he has the votes

      the only way you can fault Democrats is if you think that McConnell otherwise wouldn’t have had the votes.

      delayed reply: Democrats took the shock factor out of it and diminished the institution to boot.

      I don’t disagree w/that. I opposed the maneuver for a long time for the institutional component. By the same token, I think

      you may be right, but democrats made it far easier for him to do it. Filibuster of bills will be next to go, sadly, i fear

      I agree that Dems made it easier for him. I really, really don’t think McConnell has the votes to end legislative filibusters

          that’s the thing for any filibuster discussion—each side has to be somewhat wary of enabling the other side.
