Republicans never dreamed that Harry Reid and the Democrats would pull the "nuclear" trigger.

They are probably still in shock this morning?

In their drunken stupor, they were still celebrating their victory over "Obamacare" and their high hopes of winning the Senate next year and the Presidency in 2016.

I think they can put those plans on the back burner with this daring move by Reid and the Democrats. The days of absolute obstruction are over.

The reality is one of the worst hangovers they will have ever experienced.

The GOP is hell bent on obstruction and there are other ways.
I wouldn't put it past them to begin the "Clinton Game Plan" in the near future.

Although there would be no hope of impeachment, it sure would further screw things up.

I'm impressed (not in a good way) with Harry Reid's capacity to endure what has been a mockery of government.

Mr Reid? Welcome! Now you are another among a long list of the less tolerant, many of them less tolerant than you have been.
