If there is one constant we can count on when it comes to the Democrats, it’s that they don’t learn from past mistakes. In 2013, Sen. Harry Reid decided he’d had enough of Republicans blocking then-President Barack Obama’s judicial picks. So, without considering the possible consequences, he fundamentally changed how the Senate operates. He instituted what soon became known as the “nuclear option”, an action has been described by some as “breaking the Senate”. Fast-forward to yesterday and New York Times columnist and Biden-lover David Brooks has proclaimed that it is now time to completely do away with the filibuster. Not only is he on a slippery slope but he doesn’t have a handbasket to ride in.
