Old Harry Reid should have kept his mouth shut! Now the shoe is on the other foot! It's going to be a big big show up there now!

Reid opened debate in the morning by saying that it has become "so, so very obvious" that the Senate is broken and in need of rules reform. He rolled through a series of statistics intended to demonstrate that the level of obstruction under President Barack Obama outpaced any historical precedent.

Half the nominees filibustered in the history of the United States were blocked by Republicans during the Obama administration; of 23 district court nominees filibustered in U.S. history, 20 were Obama's nominees; and even judges that have broad bipartisan support have had to wait nearly 100 days longer, on average, than President George W. Bush's nominees.

    387 bills passed by the House sitting on Reid's desk and the Republicans are "obstructionist."

    Isn't ole Harry up for reelection next time around?







    YES!

    Among class III are notables:
    Barbara Boxer
    Richard Blumenthal
    Chuck Schumer
    Patrick Leahy
    and definitely not last, but I think least.....John McCain.

    With luck some of the old guys will retire. If not they will be almost impossible to beat, their political corruption trumps your vote.
