The Great Filibuster Debate

I'll be honest. I haven't been following the whole Filibuster debacle very closely up until now. I happened across an article on therealitycheck.org today and started looking into the "Great Compromise" that has been reached in the Senate. Again, the media, along with Harry Reid (D Minority Leader) has misrepresented what is taking place. Reid has been arguing that the Constitution is under attack as Republicans have threatened to do away with the Filibuster. (The Filibuster is, basically, a way for a minority to stall and block nominations.) However, it is not a Constitutional Right. The essence of the Filibuster is "minority rules." It takes 60 votes to stop a filibuster. What Republicans were threatening was to do away with the Filibuster by voting it out of existence. This did not mean changes to the Constitution, just changes in the way that the Senate did business. This compromise amounts to a victory for the liberal left. Yes, Bush gets some nominations through now, but the Dems reserve the right to Filibuster in the future. The majority that voted Bush into office, and voted out people like Tom Daschle, the majority that overwhelmingly voted and supported the conservatives in the last election are being silenced. It doesn't matter what the people think any more. It's all about the politics. It is apparent that the left will stop at nothing to continue to push their agenda, even though they are in the minority all around, both in votes of the American people and their representation in the legislative branch. When they are in the minority, they simply legislate from the bench (judicial branch) or they invoke a filibuster. What about America, Dems? What about the people? Hopefully, one day, the conservatives we elect and place in office will get the backbone they need to stand up to the Loony Left and show us that the faith and trust that we place in them is not unfounded.
