Senator Reid again stabs democracy in the back.

For the second time this year, Senator Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, has decided not to change the filibuster rules in the Senate. Now, it was called the Nuclear Option, but in fact, all it did was to give the President, actually any future President if the rule had passed, the ability to to nominate a cabinet member or any administration board appointee and have them approved with a simple majority. What is so nuclear about that? Why shouldn't any President have that right? This would not include any judges or bills. We vote for President, and I think that any President should have the right to have anyone they choose to work in their administration, as long as a majority in the Senate agrees. The Senate is there to advise and consent on these appointments. Why should that mean the minority can block an appointment? Sorry, Senator Reid, as I see it, you again stabbed democracy in the back when you refused to amend the filibuster rules in the Senate.
