At least make the Republicans actually work for it.

Sucks we lost the House, where legislation actually passed, and kept the Senate where everything was stuck like an ugly analogy.

3. Right, we'll need it.
The strategy now should be to lock things up tight as a drum.

4. What's it matter?
A Boehner house isn't passing jack shit anyway. There's no reason to change the filibuster at this point.
