Once again I was published in the Rapid Response second of the Michigan City News Dispatch. My note was in response to a local man who could not believe that the Republicans would have the gall to change the filibuster rules, and he in fact believed that the Conservatives were merely trying to silence their opposition. This is my comeback to that note.

Many of the same men crying about losing the filibuster were the same men trying to eliminate it while the Republicans were stalling many of President Clinton's judicial nominations. Ten years ago the liberals in Congress led a vote to completely eliminate the filibuster, and not just to change it to only needing 51 votes to end, as the conservatives are trying for now. They could only muster 19 votes for it and lost handily. I guess the shoes are on the other feet now.
