Terrible move by the senate, unless you happen to be a friend of the President. Will only harm everyday Americans who want to operate in the center politically. Really good for the extremes on both ends. Trust me, Republicans will love this one day. There was a point to all of this. It was to make keep the government honest, and push policies toward the middle, and build consensus. This just blows that principle out of the water. Thanks very much Harry Reid. Just another example of politicians changing the rules instead of trying to compromise. Leadership 101.
