Next 2 mos.: Nuclear Option Defused- Filibuster ANYTHING We Don't Like

Thu Nov 09, 2006 at 10:58:39 AM PDT

There have been a lot of comments pointing to this, so I thought it was deserving of a diary, albeit a short one. The idea is that the Republican congress right now is completely impotent, IF, and it's a big if, knowing the weeniness we've seen exhibited in the past, the Dems are willing to pull the trigger on a filibuster. Basically, they can filibuster anything that the Republicans want to do over the next couple of months, because the Nuclear Option has been reduced to an empty threat, thanks to the Repugs' pending minority status.

Please take the poll...
