#1 I don't think the Republicans should change the rules to stop filibusters. I would rather see them return the filibuster rules to what they once were, so we can watch Ted Kennedy read the Boston phone book hour after hour on C-SPAN. Fringe benefit - it would shut down the Congressional spending machine for a little while.

#2 The Republicans have control of the Senate? Who know?

Can someone please tell them?

The problem is that the Democrats know that any type of filibuster will work because the Repubician ahem leadership lack a spine.
