How are Republicans able to remove the filibuster provision? The filibuster is not a law, but a traditional respect given to fellow Senators. I'm a big fan of the filibuster, it is a steam valve giving people time to stop and think about what they're really passing.
HOWEVER, I think both sides are acting like whiney children. I see this as parallel to the Texas Democratic Representatives bailed when the Reps. won a majority for the first time since the Civil War. Something doesnt go their way so instead of working with them to better represent their own people they throw a fit.
