Zandar's Thought Of The Day

Somebody explain this to me:

Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) said Monday that using budget reconciliation to obviate the need for 60-vote supermajorities “would be a mess.” Sen. Bob Bennett (R-Utah) said doing so would “sour” relations in the Senate. Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) said the White House risks turning legislation into a “purely partisan exercise.”

And a senior Republican Senate aide said the GOP could respond to such a move by going “nuclear” — essentially shutting down the Senate through the use of parliamentary maneuvers such as forcing the reading of bills and amendments and prohibiting committees from meeting for more than a few hours at a time.

Screw them. Make them have to do it.

Remember Harry Reid's "Pajama Party" to try to stop Bush on Iraq funding? Let's see some of that from the GOP, then when it doesn't work, Malkinvania can call them spineless.
