My thoughts on the "nuclear option"

It would be a bad move for the Republicans to get rid of the filibuster. The Democrats have the high PR ground on this one, regardless of whatever media bias exists. While Republicans are certainly allowed to change the rules of debate, if they do so, it will look like the Republicans are behaving like people who, when they can't win within the rules, change the rules. It's childish, and I hope that they don't do it.
