LIVE NOW: Senator Chris Murphy Launches Filibuster To Demand Votes On Gun Laws

Harry Reid invokes the Nuclear Option

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has taken off his earrings, folks. After the multiple filibuster foolishness from the GOP, Harry went "Nuclear"! He moved for Senate to vote on passing most executive and judicial nominees by a simple majority vote.

And they did, 52 to 48. So now, they need 51 votes. You know the GOP is pissed, but that's what they get for abusing the system. Funny, they always talk about the poor abusing system... Anywho, the rules are in place.

Here's his speech before the vote

Sen. Ted Cruz Launches Anti-Obamacare Senate Filibuster - VIDEO

Let the crazy games began

and it's still going

Mitch McConnell will Filibuster Gun Control Bill

Senate Minority Leader Mitch 'Fish Face' McConnell will filibuster the Gun Control bill or the Reid Bill. According to his spokesperson, Mitch will join 15 other fools in this mess.

It's clear that he is trying to save himself with the crazies by joining Rand Paul's gang. I just hope this act of foolishness ends badly for them.

Seriously, do they want to end up on the wrong side of history?

WATCH John McCain say he will filibuster any attempt to end DADT

Oh Snap! John McCain and his Goon Squad are threatening to Filibuster the DADT Repeal

I knew this was coming. John McCain and some GOPers are threatening to filibuster a DADT repeal.

Armed Services Republicans threatened Wednesday to filibuster the defense authorization bill if it comes to the floor with Democrat-backed language repealing the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.

Armed Services ranking member John McCain said Thursday that he would “without a doubt” support a filibuster if the bill goes to the floor with repeal language.

“I’ll do everything in my power,” the Arizona Republican said, citing letters from the four service chiefs urging Congress not to act before a Pentagon review of the policy is complete. “I’m going to do everything I can to support the men and women of the military and to fight what is clearly a political agenda.”

Damn you, McCain! Why are you doing this? Oh, I guess this is his attempt to get reelected. However, I hope GetEQUAL goes after him and the other folks involved in this possible filibuster.

Interesting Quote: President Obama

"At the beginning of the week, a staggering 63 nominees had been stalled in the Senate because one or more senators placed a hold on their nomination. ... And so on Tuesday, I told Senator McConnell that if Republican senators did not release these holds, I would exercise my authority to fill critically-needed positions in the federal government temporarily through the use of recess appointments. ... Since that meeting, I am gratified that Republican senators have responded by releasing many of these holds and allowing 29 nominees to receive a vote in the Senate. While this is a good first step, there are still dozens of nominees on hold who deserve a similar vote, and I will be looking for action from the Senate when it returns from recess. If they do not act, I reserve the right to use my recess appointment authority in the future."

Obama basically telling Sen. McConnell, "I will whoop that ass!"

The List of Fools who wants to Filibuster SCOTUS nominee Sonia Sotomayor

These egg yokes have too much time on their hands.

In a foolish attempt to stop the approval of SCOTUS nominee Sonia Sotomayor, these tramps wrote a letter urging Senate Republicans to do something (as if).

This is mess, of course, but I wanted to present the list of these folks who "wants action". Feel free to look up what they represent. I've highlighted a few of them.
