Washington politicos continue to wander about in the wake of the other night's slumber party. Hmmm, but note this, from the article: "After the results were tallied, Reid asked GOP leaders to accept simple-majority votes. When they refused, Reid announced that the debate would be suspended, possibly until after Labor Day or until Republicans dropped their filibuster. He called the 60-vote requirement "a new math that was developed by the Republicans to protect the president."
Really. I seem to remember that, when the Republicans were in the majority not long ago and trying to (for example) confirm conservative judges, Democrats and Harry Reid had no compunction about using the filibuster.
