We all remember the cold dark days that brought us Justices Roberts and Alito and all of President Bush's other judicial nominations. When we were cautioned against filibustering the travesties because of the Republican threat of the "nuclear option." In that they would change the rule for cloture from 60 to just 51.
We were all warned that we HAD to keep our powder dry. That we simply could not call the Republicans on this bluff because we had to save the fight for another day
Perhaps now, while we watch obstructionists attempt to destroy the most essential reform of our lifetimes for political gain, that time has come. Perhaps it's time to light some fires and blow some s*** up. Perhaps it's time to go nuclear.
To the fold!
