Harry Reid’s many 2005 press releases against filibuster reform
The now-Majority Leader’s old statements are no longer available on his website. Then, Democrats were in the minority and relying on the Senate requirement of 60 votes to pass legislation.

But it’s different now. He’s in the majority.

May he end up in a creche, soon, in the same pen with McCain and a few others over 60 (all from the senate).

Dear Senator Reid,
Looking forward to collecting on that deal we made.
Hugs and Kisses,

Once again proving that all Democrats are simply liars.

I think we should take it back the way it was before: 2/3 of the chamber.

Ha. I predict a deluge of irate comments from mindless drones along the lines of “good for me but not for thee.”

No. The usual justification for a change now and not back then is because they claim Republicans use the filibuster much more than Democrats did. Even though they can’t prove it by the numbers.
But that’s the argument used by most liberals.
