Hey, Reporters (Filibuster Vocabulary Edition) - Jonathan Bernstein/ A Plain blog

A plain blog about politics: Hey, Reporters (Filibuster Vocabulary Edition):
by Jonathan Bernstein
Remember, Senate Republicans -- breaking with precedent -- declared as soon as Barack Obama was elected that they would institute a true 60 vote Senate, which means that they have resolved to filibuster ever single bill and every single nomination, something that has never been done before. And they've followed through; I believe that they did allow one nomination to get through without 60 votes this year, but that's about it.
