I distinctly remember him lobbying for the GOP to use the Nuke Option during W's presidency.

Take everything you hear from any source with salt.

He did. And McConnell refused to do it out of "respect" for the institution (and after the "Gang of 14" fricked over a number of W's nominees).

Reid was the one that ACTUALLY did it.

The idea has been around for quite a while and though I don't remember whether or not Rush pushed for it in the 90s, it certainly wouldn't surprise me.

But Reid was the first to employ it, to my knowledge.

Harry didn't invent it, but he is the one that pushed the button.

Rush is a right wing hack, just like 80% of this board

Yeah ... but have you beaten the implication that I read on here that you are a child molester?


I read it on here ... so, it must have some merit, right?

And you are a left-wing hack, with your hysterical threads that contain no substance whatsoever, just like 20% of this board.

Reid did it and he made it much easier for Republicans to do it. All Reid did was exclude the Supreme Court. Democrats also got rid of having to ACTUALLY stand and talk forever for the filibuster. They are the ones that nutted the filibuster. All Repubs will be doing is finishing it off.

You're melting like a bitch and have been for at least 72 hours.

Your posts saying GOP better be careful of the consequences invalidated any claims you have to rational partiality.

You are clueless.

Rush always gets a little wobbly before his afternoon insulin shot.
