The whole stupid wrangling over filibusters is of course entirely political. If the Republicans succeed in getting rid of filibusters, they'll just be clamoring to get it back then next time they are in the minority. And, of course, as soon as the Democrat have the majority, they'll take up the fight to get rid of filibusters in their own turn.

And didn't you know that we liberals couldn't possibly have families since we're all too busy having homosexual relations and having abortions. I mean, can you think of any liberals who have familes consisting of one mother, one father, and some assortment of kids? Besides me, of course.
