      - He was real close to getting ousted last election, considering that he looked as bad as he ever had at that point I don't see him - Krusty Oct 27, 12:01
    - It gives them 60 votes. Usually. -- nm - TWuG Oct 27, 11:55 1
      - yeah, really, if they don't, it just means they are at 59. there's no real benefit to them to not let him. this way they are filibuster-proof for like - TFox Oct 27, 11:56

- (not that, however, a filibuster from a minority is 100% unsmarmy. just more common.) -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 12:01
- What does this even mean? -- nm - con_calabazas Oct 27, 11:53 2
  - from my (limited) understanding, there's a process called reconciliation that allows controversial bills to go through Congress without filibuster -- nm - Roger More Oct 27, 11:59 1
    - Oh. I don't know that that was ever not in the cards. *shrug* -- nm - con_calabazas Oct 27, 12:01
- it is, but i think they are going to have to. they can't not pass something, they want to pass something bold, and i don't think they can with 60. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 11:49
