The American People Should Exercise "Their Own Nuclear Option" Come November

Apparently Harry Reid, Senator, NV has been considering this option for some time.  In an extraordinary move to curb the minority party from exercising its right to filibuster, Reid, with the help of 50 Senators all but castrated the Republican Party's ability to function by implementing The Nuclear Option.  Now, while this may or may not be unconstitutional (it is unclear to me anyway) what Reid just pulled off is, in my opinion, tantamount to seizing power (maybe even abuse of power) so that one branch of government will have little opposition (The Senate) when it comes to railroading through their judicial nominees.  Gee, will the Republicans ever get a clue as to who they're dealing with here?  In other words, when are you guys going to show some balls?  Maybe if the Republicans had worked together instead of bashing the Tea Party over the head, this wouldn't have happened.  This could also be a sign of weakness in the Democratic Party.  And another way to switch all the furor and focus off of ObamaScare.  Both parties in the past have threatened to use this little known piece of procedural oneupsmanship.    At this point it is unclear what the Republicans will do.  Harry Reid never impressed me.  But one thing he just solidified for me is the fact that Reid and the Democrats will do whatever they feel necessary (whether it borders on criminality or not) to shove their socialist crap down our throats.  I'm neither for or against Republicans and Democrats.  It is obvious that both parties have been in office way too long, are too firmly entrenched in politricks, and have forgotten that they were elected to do the will of the people.  They mouth the Constitution but continually trample all over it.  Just remember, Dirty Harry, the American people are keeping score.
