22. Wonders never cease...

Thu Nov 21, 2013, 07:03 PM

Nov 2013

Whatever miracle it required, he was the Sen Majority Leader at the helm when it happened. Go Harry, and all who were responsible for finally doing something about the filibuster rule that the Republicans have rammed down this country's neck for many many many years. First steps are the hardest, I guess. Could have gone further, but at least they can now fill POs nominee appointments!
