Harry Reid Is Screwing The Filibuster Pooch

Reid has no desire to really fix the filibuster; he simply wants to do something to appease the Democratic base.  A real filibuster reform would be a bridge too far for almost any Senator, and Harry Reid is not just any Senator.  He's the Majority Leader and as such is far more invested in the aristocracy of the Senate than your average bear Senator.  Reid was never on the right side of this issue, so the American people will continue to be victimized by a dysfunctional government.
