Paul Krugman Kill the fillbuster/Wait save the fillbuster!
Decided to see what other columnist/pundits are doing with the filibuster issue?
Looks like this is standard operating procedure for both right and left.
If it supports your cause go with it if not oppose it. I think the problem is that
most people don’t realize the flip flopping that is going on. And they have done it for years.
Condition normal for today’s politics.
Paul Krugman: Save the filibuster! Ban the filibuster!
The New York Times‘ house economist Paul Krugman is no fan of the filibuster… at least, when it’s used against the kinds of intrusive, big government legislation he promotes. In March 2005, he warned America that “extremists” were trying to eliminate the filibuster to push through their partisan (and pro-life) judges. But now that Obama is president and a massive new government program is in the mix, things have changed!Paul Krugman, Calls For End Of Filibuster. Defended It During Bush Years
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

As I stated in another thread,
"You can tell what party has a majority in the senate by listening to a talking head rant about the filibuster."

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
