[link to thehill.com] Quoting: Uncle Fuck Stick After days of intense lobbying, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is confident he has enough votes to trigger the nuclear option to change the Senate’s rules. Reid needs 50 votes for the controversial tactic, which Republicans say would forever “change the character of the Senate” but Democrats argue is necessary to fix a broken institution. Reid expects to have at least 51 Democratic votes to prohibit Republicans from filibustering President Obama’s executive branch nominees. Vice President Joe Biden could provide insurance by presiding over the chamber to break a tie vote. The standing rules of the Senate require a 67-vote majority to change the rules, but Reid would circumvent that by making a point of order that senators should be prohibited from filibustering executive branch nominees. This would clear the way for the Senate to confirm Obama’s most controversial nominees with simple majority votes, including Richard Cordray, the nominee to serve as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and three picks for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). It’s called the nuclear option because it would cause a meltdown in bipartisan relations. Senate Republicans on Thursday threatened to shut the upper chamber down until next year’s election. Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) warned Reid would be remembered as the “worst leader of the Senate ever” if he moves forward. Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) will vote against any point of order Reid raises to change the rules. Sens. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.), who is facing a tough election next year, and Max Baucus (D-Mont.) are “leaning no”, according to a senior Democratic aide. Sens. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) and Tom Carper (D-Del.) are two other swing votes, but Democratic leaders expect them to ultimately support Reid. Reed has wavered back and forth in recent meetings with advocates pushing for Senate rules reform. “He was agonizing over it,” said a member of the pro-reform coalition who lobbied him. “I think Jack Reed is now in the right place. Pryor and Baucus are still up in the air.” Cathy Duvall, the national political director at the Sierra Club, which is a member of the Fix the Senate Now coalition, said some Democratic senators are concerned about possible GOP retribution. “It’s my understanding there are a number of senators who still have some questions about the process and what the retribution might be,” she said. She said whether Reid triggers the nuclear option will depend on whether Republicans allow the nominees to reach final votes. “What happens on Tuesday depends on what Republicans do,” she said. “Will they continue to create unprecedented gridlock on nominations or will they join with Reid to get the Senate to work?” McConnell has signaled he will allow final votes on two of Obama’s high-profile nominees, Tom Perez, the pick to serve as Labor secretary, and Gina McCarthy, the nominee for administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Republicans have proposed a deal on the National Labor Relations Board that would have Obama submit new names for those positions, according to an aide familiar with the offer. Republicans argue two o More at Fucking link Midterm elections will see the end of the Democratic hold of the Senate. |

As it stands now any one senator can put a block on a bill without the block being attributed to him. The republicans have consistently blocked almost every bill since Obama took office. Of course there is also the roll call vote that requires 41 senators to kill a bill. Here again there is no record of any individual Senators vote. Some how we need to hold these senators accountable for their actions. I don't care what party they're in. We need to know where they stand on the issues we may have very well voted them into office to support. |
