More feistiness from Senate Democrats

Apparently there's some obscure rule that allows legislation to be introduced directly on the Senate floor (see here), and Reid's troops have lined up some doozies that they'll bring to a vote if the GOP axes the filibuster: funding for family planning and vetrans benefits, and new proposals on education, jobs, fiscal responsibility, and energy (among others). Make the Republicans vote down this stuff that looks like taking care of Average Citizen.

"Abusing power is not what the American people sent us to Washington to do. We need to address real priorities instead -- fight for relief at the gas pump, stronger schools and lower health care costs for America's families," said Senator Reid.

Yeowch. I think that filibuster is looking stronger and stronger. As is the Opposition Party.
