Reid threatened to use a budgetary tool called reconciliation -- also known as the "nuclear option" -- that would allow Democrats to pass key parts of the legislation with a simple majority, as opposed to the 60 votes needed to avoid a Republican filibuster"This of course means that 1/2 the nation will be without a voice -- it means that the Senate has usurped the power of the people...
It means that there is no need to have a debate on anything any more .... and we should have seen it coming when they forced thru the stimulus package earlier this year without thinking things thru and checking for pork ...
gee isn't politics grand???
