"Suspend the 60 votes need to end a filibuster .."

Well, Bobert...with the 1 vote majority, they would need to be VERY sure of every vote before they try something like that. It would be extremely awkward to have one of their own decide not to go along, and give the Republicans a 2 vote win...and crowing rights for months!

   Yeah, I know...all they'd need is a couple of Republican defections to get this done, but voting with the Dems to end a filibuster might be a death sentence for any Republican Senator who hopes to run again.... now where are the Bill Proxmire and Wayne Morse types when you need them?

I wonder if they could get Arlen Spector?
