In the same manner that the Bush tax cuts amounting to over
$1.5 trillion were "ramrodded" through with this procedure?
In fact, I agree with Lincoln to some extent (I think even Robert Byrd opposes using the procedure) that it is not the best way to proceed.....but at the same time, the filibuster/cloture vote procedure should not be used (abused) as much as the Republicans have since 2007..far more often than the minority party in any time in recent history.
