Will Harry do it or will Harry not do it?

Tomorrow is the only day on which the filibuster rules can be changed.

The current rule makes the Senate dysfunctional. A dysfunctional Senate allows the Congress to appear to appear as whatever they want to appear to be while actually doing NOTHING.

Will he will or will he won't?

1. I hope he will n/t

2. My prediction: they'll be changed in a meaningless way

Along the lines of the McCain-Levin proposal - mostly about really, truly following the rules that are already in place. No, really. We'll follow them. Stop laughing, dammit, we're Senators.

The Third Way likes the current filibuster situation, it helps them triangulate.

3. Poor Harry....This and Gun Control.

4. The time to do it was 2007.

They should do it tomorrow anyway but it doesn't really mean anything with a Bagger house still in place. Our time to strike was in 2009 and they squandered the opportunity.

5. "Tomorrow is the only day on which the filibuster rules can be changed." - not true.

As long as he technically continues the 'first day' by recessing the Senate at the end of each day
the option to change the rules by 50+ votes on the 'first day' remains open.

6. I didn't read that as I didn't wish to take the time.

My statement can be attributed to Rachel Maddow on her show tonight.
