Republicans and some Democrats, such as West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, are against ending the filibuster, which has been used for decades to blunt the majority's power.

It is an important check to keep a majority ruled congress from running rough shod on everything while they are the majority. The democrats have used this as a check while they were in the minority. .

Doing away with the filibuster is one step towards one party rule. They regretted abolishing the filibuster for judges. Why would this be different? And when did the media stop calling it "the nuclear option"?

I like to support local, but bought gifts online, convenience, selection, prices, free shipping, and most importantly the access to reviews that tell the real story about the product! I rely heavily on reviews.

Never family. Parents usually hosted; but I have hosted friends once I moved away and was no longer close by to enjoy a family-hosted gathering. I did host cpl friends this Xmas day with fondue.
