GOP Finally Forced to Filibuster

It was bound to happen and last night it did. Democrats finally forced Republicans to live up to their threats and filibuster a motion to end debate begin debate on financial regulation reform. This can be looked at a couple different ways. Reid finally muscling around a very small and extremely powerless minority party that is as popular as a root canal.  Or as Republicans will view it, Freedom Fighters holding their ground against more socialist takeovers.

The word is Reid is going to keep bringing the motion back throughout the early evening forcing Republicans to filibuster every attempt.  Kind of makes me nostalgic for the olden days when a screw was a screw and a filibuster was a filibuster.  Don't get too giddy, however.  It's all theatrics my dear.
