The next Senate vote should be to relieve Reid of his Leadership position.

Thursday's Senate vote on the filibuster rule is simply a travesty. There is no other way to say it. Tomorrow, and for the next 2 years, any Senator can still put a filibuster hold on a bill and never have to speak, and it will take 60 votes to overrule the filibuster. The action today will allow the Senate GOP, who's in the minority, to hold up any bill that President Obama likes, and the blame for this falls directly on the shoulders of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. This less than a year after Senator Reid said that a complete overhaul of the filibuster rule had to be taken up. So my suggestion is that the next bill brought up by the Senate Democrats, remember them, Harry, should be to get rid of Reid as the Senate Majority Leader. I have stated before that Democrats must have the convictions of their beliefs, and to stand up for what they believe in. And anyone who refuses to do that can't lead. And Senator Reid has refused to stand up for what he and the Democratic Party stands for. And for this, he must be replaced. And if he doesn't believe in that, he has no right to be called a Democrat.

Thursday, the Senate voted to basically keep the filibuster rules as they are. The next vote brought up by the Democrats should be to get a new Senate Majority Leader.
