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've been only shopping online for years. I feel badly for store retailers, but it's just more convenient to shop online. Going into a retail store nowadays is like visiting a ghost town. There's never anyone there.

I feel it ease worries a LITTLE bit. I think he has already talked to his friend Pat, AD at Penn State, and was told that Penn State Alumni want someone more proven than Rhule. So, Rhule is way down the list.

No, it means nothing, he is gone or he woulda squashed it and said he was taking his name out of consideration and he didn’t.
