Reid: Let's change the rules!

From Investors, we learn of a new plot by the ever plotting Harry Reid, who wants to change the rules again to benefit himself and his party, thereby nullifying again the will of the people. It's all about power, not the will of the people. Investors is calling it the "nuclear option." The ruling class isn't going down easily.

Politics: The Senate Majority Leader has a plan to deal with Republican electoral success. When you lose the game, you simply change the rules. When you only have 53 votes, you lower the bar to 51.
When Harry Reid was hawking his book "The Good Fight" on C-Span's "Book Notes" in 2008, he described how he had vehemently opposed GOP plans for the "nuclear option," changing the rules to break a Democratic filibuster on President George W. Bush's judicial nominees. Only 51 votes would be needed to move them along.
