HITLER JR AND HIS CRIMINAL AND KILLING GESTAPO ARE NOT LEAVING ANY AVENUE CLOSED, TO GET COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PEOPLE AND THE COUNTRY. BETTER PAY ATTENTION AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON ! ! THIS IS A DANGEROUS MOVE.................THEY ARE TRYING TO ELIMINATE ANY CHECK AND BALANCE ON THE GOVERNMENT ! ! ! But following the vote, even some Democrats emerged as tough critics of the decision. While Republicans were furious that their ability to hold up appointments had been scrambled, moderate Democrats were concerned more about how Reid was able to pull off the maneuver. Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., one of three Democrats who opposed the move, said it could permanently damage the Senate. This institution was designed to protect -- not stamp out -- the voices of the minority, he said. Speaking Thursday from the White House briefing room, Obama said the change was needed to deal with Republicans unprecedented pattern of obstruction. He cited the record of George W. Bush, claiming his predecessor had an easier time getting nominees confirmed. ( ( ( ( ( ( PRESIDENT BUSH DIDNT HAVE A BUNCH OF CRIMINALS, MANY MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD SUPPORTERS, ISLAMS, AND PEOPLE ASSOCIATED WITH AL QUATA, AND TERRORISTS ) ) ) ) ) ) Levin argued that the move opened the floodgates for the majority to change important rules on a whim going forward. Today, we once again are moving down a destructive path, he said. Pursuing the nuclear option in this manner removes an important check on majority overreach which is central to our system of government. The late Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., presented a powerful case against changing the rules back in 2010, when he said doing so would destroy the uniqueness of this institution. In the hands of a tyrannical majority and leadership, that kind of emasculation of the cloture rule would mean that minority rights would cease to exist in the U.S. Senate, he said.
