Reid Needs to Take Initiative in Senate

Following the present Senate rules, Reid could do the following himself and totally rout the radical repubs:

-Motion on the Senate floor to change Senate rules to disallow filibusters on judicial nominees

-Move towards a vote on said motion, which would require a 2/3 majority of senators.

-Defeat the proposed rule change by preemption on the Senate floor, under present rules.

I emphasize: This scenario is perfectly within the present Senate rules! Write Senator Reid of Nevada and encourage him to go forward with this maneuver as soon as it is clear that the repubs are going forward with their 'nuclear option'.
