The Blunt Amendment vote - Are Democrats making this a 60 vote threshold?

I mean, because every f-ing thing takes 60 votes now, are the Democrats making this insane amendment get the 60 votes, which it will NEVER get..This can't be a straight majority vote?..At least 2 Democrats are voting for it, from what i heard on "The Last Word"....

Because every damn thing takes 60 votes now, we don't have the DREAM ACT, and Goodwin Liu and Caitlin Halligan are not on the 9th. Circuit and DC Circuits respectively....Why not make the repukes get 60 on the Blunt Amendment?..
