A short trip on the not so far back wayback-machine. All of them in the video whined like babies until they gained a super majority now they're behaving like two year olds who each ate a 5 lb bag of sugar, washing it down with an energy drink. Tme for elections to send them all home to the 'no fun chair' where they can figure out what the heck happened.

Speaking of reconciliation...

Watching this video assembling the vehement pronouncements of prominent Democrats inveighing against circumvention of the filibuster, It would be easy for a citizen to become cynical about politics. It would be easy, but it would be right.

Naked Emperor News has compiled the wise words of Democratic worthies including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden, Dianne Feinstein, Christopher Dodd (who is in especially good form) and Max Baucus denouncing the threat that Senate Republicans might abolish the use of the filibuster to obstruct judicial nominations.

The video leads off with Barack Obama worrying about majoritarian absolute power -- you know, the kind the Founders warned against. And it continues with timely thoughts from relevant actors, most of whom have continued in the Senate and will have the opportunity to adapt their past wisdom to current needs. It's a living Constitution, after all!

This is an impressive and educational highlight reel.
