Reply #7: and what if there were no fillibusters? [View All]

I posted this on another thread but it died. LOL! Seriously though, I read this article and am now questioning whether it might be okay and maybe even good to let the Radical Regressives do away with fillibusters! A lot of the points make sense to me and when you factor in the Radical Regressive groups (including the anti-union National Right to Work Committee, the Gun Owners of America and the anti-abortion National Pro-Life Alliance) opposed to the "nuclear option", it makes ya wonder...Think of all the progressive policies we could get through if we were the majority party and the regressives couldn't fillibuster! I'd love to hear what others think about this - I'm confused!
