How long until we start hearing about 'rights of the minority' in the Senate?

This was a Democrat and MSM mantra when the GOP last controlled the Senate, but curiously faded away when the Dems took control. Expect this idea to resurface soon.
Bonus points for: 'The cooling saucer for the teacup.'

You do realize that GOPers availed themselves of every tactic available to them when they were in the Senate minority. I expect Democrats to do the same thing. They would be negligent if they didn't.

Same political sh!t different political day.
MSM and pols start out all nice to each other then slowly things get back to the norm. Blame and posturing ensue. At the begining of the year a few easy bills get passed.Soon poison pills are slipped in bills or bills with no chance to pass are brought up to make one side look bad. Then as we head into the last 12 months before the election both sides will admit due to election year politics not much will be passed.
Then we see what the new prez has up their sleeve for their 1st 12 months in office.
Wash rinse dry...repeat.

Sure. The GOP were called obstructionists.
The Dems were called the 'loyal minority' or similar. Chuck Schumer kept talking about the cooling saucer.

I bet the Dems will view the nuclear option as a bad thing again instead of a necessary update to a dated rule.

Really? Can you find a link with a GOP Senator talking about "rights of the minority" while the Dems were in control of the Senate?
