Cornyn addressed his past defense of the filibuster in Wednesday's op-ed.

"I spent years defending the filibuster because the 60-vote threshold was a net benefit to Texas and our nation," he wrote. "Before moderate Democrats went extinct, the rules worked. ... The Democrats’ recklessness and radicalism have changed the landscape."

Asked Wednesday specifically about his past statement that changing the filibuster would "take a wrecking ball" to Senate rules, Cornyn replied: "I said I’d be open to reforms."

When asked follow-up questions, Cornyn put his hand in front of NBC News' camera and said, "Go away."

He’s toast and he knows it. He better be cutting a crapload of deals and soon to keep his seat.

He is far too full of himself. He needs to go back to Texas.

Cornyn addressed his past defense of the ZOMBY filibuster in Wednesday's op-ed. Now he favors the traditional filibuster. Let's call it what it is.

Most people can’t imagine the egos of these senators.

Nancy Pelosi supposedly acts like a traveling duchess raging at the most minor inconvenience or so I’m told.

I just hope it doesn't get watered down somehow. Wait...do we even have a solid breakdown of what the Act states??

He witnessed first hand the decoupling from Eyepatch McCain. He certainly has some serious angst right now.
