Sirota: We don't have time for the filibuster

In his post today he notes a reality: A number of Democrats in the Senate are old and can die or be incapacitated at any time. And some of them are in States with a Repugnacon Governor who can replace them and change the balance of power back to the Repugs. So there is literally no time to waste on toying with changes to the filibuster; it must be eliminated and NOW. That is, if they ever to hope to enact any legislation outside of reconciliation. And if they do not they will surely lose their Congressional control at  the mid-terms. Bottom line: If you're serious about passing legislation then your only option is to fight like hell to eliminate the filibuster altogether. If you do not engage that fight then we don't believe you.
