vote rule so dems can get their way? Chuck Schumer thinks so. For the sake of fairness, here is a differing opinion on that.
"We are on the precipice of a crisis. A constitutional crisis. The checks and balances which have been at the core of this republic are about to be evaporated by the nuclear option,"
"The checks and balances which say that if you get 51% of the vote, you don’t get your way 100% of the time."
He added that discussion of the "nuclear option" was "almost a temper tantrum by those on the hard, hard right," who "want … their way every single time."
"They will change the rules, break the rules, misread the Constitution so that they will get their way," he said. "That ... is what we call abuse of power."
Who said this? Sen. Chuck Schumer in 2005.
