Midknight Review -- new and revised: "They" told us, "This filibuster change only effects federal court nominees." They were lying (OF COURSE) and here is your proof:

Update: they are talking about extending the filibuster change to include legislation. If that happens, Obamacare can be repealed with only 51 votes in the Senate. Because of this change, AND if the GOP wins both the Senate and the presidency in 2016, ObamaCare is g.o.n.e !!!!!!

From the Hill, we have the beginnings of this story, published this morning, less than 24 hours after the socialists in the Senate unilaterally changed the existing filibuster rule:

After the Senate voted to change filibuster rules Thursday, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) called for more reforms.

“This has been escalating for a long period of time and it was time to stop it and that’s what we did this morning,” Harkin said.

“Now we need to take it a step farther and change the filibuster rules on legislation.”

Fifty-two Democratic senators voted to limit the minority party’s right to filibuster executive branch and judicial nominees. Under the old rules, 60 votes were necessary to end debate on nominees, but Democrats changed the rules to require a simple majority.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was prompted to use the “nuclear option” to change the Senate rules with a simple majority after Republicans blocked three of President Obama’s nominees to the D.C. Circuit Court.

The nuclear option — which gets its name from the damage done to bipartisan relationships — allows a simple-majority to change the Senate rules rather than the usual super majority. . . . . finish the article here.

Editor's notes: Understand that 115 federal appointments have been approved in the Senate before yesterday including two extremely liberal Supreme Court justices. Only two nominees have been rejected.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
