Dems, GOP fight brewing over curbing filibusters !
So this is how we start the 2nd term ?
"Democrats are threatening to resort to a seldom-used procedure that could let them change the rules without GOP support, all but inviting Republican retaliation."
"Changing Senate rules by simple majority, rather than a two-thirds vote, is rarely done and referred to as "the nuclear option" because it is considered an extreme move that can trigger all-out partisan battling."

All of this brought to you by, none other than Harry Reid !
So, instead of reaching across the aisles and coming to a mutual agreement, let's use the "Nukuler Option", change the rules and cut the aisle in half.............again !
