Hey, let's change filibuster rules!!

All in favor? That way we can get more o-bama appointees into office! That's what this country needs, more o-bama appointees. This will also take a little focus off the obamacare fiasco. Reid is in session right now quoting the Old Testament to help persuade more followers. All aboard the fright train!!

The record for the longest filibuster goes to U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, who spoke for 24 hours and 18 minutes against the Civil Rights Act of 1957, according to U.S. Senate records.

Thurmond began speaking at 8:54 p.m. on Aug. 28 and continued until 9:12 p.m. the following evening, reciting the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, President George Washington's farewell address and other historical documents along the way.

Thurmond was not the only lawmaker to filibuster on the issue, however. According to Senate records, teams of senators consumed 57 days filibustering between March 26 and June 19, the day the Civil Rights Act of 1957 passed.

Has nothing to do with it. When repubs talked of doing this a long time back, odumbo said it was a power grab and it didn't happen. This is one of the ways, besides executive orders, they are going to get a tighter grip on our guns. I know, paranoia!! Watch and see. Problem is, they will never get the guns they need to get without a fight.........a firefight.
