The filibuster isn't in the Constitution, the actual checks and balances are.

And the fact that a vetoed bill needs a 60% vote to become law is in the Constitution yet the same person is bitching about that too. Don't use the "fillibuster isn't in the Constituion so it should be used" crap then whine about something that is in the Constitution.

But way too many people on this thread are ignoring the real issues here:
Both Democrats and Republicans are still obeying the Constitution.
And the Constitution lets the Senate set its own rules, which means the
Senate, by a majority, can ditch the filibuster.
It's all legal. You might not like it. But it's perfectly legal and Constitutional.

Yes and I said is when the republican do this one day the tables will be turned and they will regret it. then that will be thier problem not mine and I won't feel a bit sorry for them. The republican are being very hypocritcal when they think all of Bush's nominees should be becomes judges because he wants then to when if Kerry was President they'd be voting against most of his nominations left and right.
Look if you have a opinion or belief or ideology that's different than mine we don't have to agree and I can repsect your views as long as you aren't a hypocrite. republican are hypocrites. yes dems are too but they have no power. Repubs control everything look it up. I say fight the power. Dems have none. They are inconsequential.
President - Repub
House - Repub
Senate - Repub
Supreme Court - Repub
Governors - Repub
State Legislators - Repub

The best answer for Democrats is to just stop losing elections so they won't have to complain about being pushed around by the majority party.

Easier said than done. All a repub has to say to the ignorant masses is "He wants to take away your guns, make your daughters get abortions and make you kids become gay and have them get married" and BOOM instant win for republican.
