Especially Boxer. I should call her office, she's one of mine, and see why. Maybe they fear the effects of this when Dems eventually become a minority party in the Senate. Still, I don't get it. Republicans were all set to use the nuclear option against Dems not so very long ago, and Dems were filibustering (is that a word?) far less frequently than what the Republicans are doing.

So, what's really going on here? I have a hard time believing Boxer is an outlier on the wrong side of this issue. If so, time to replace her with someone who represents our interests. I'm guessing there's more to it. If I find out I'll post back here, or if anyone can save me the trouble, please explain.
