Harry is not only a hypocrite:
“The filibuster is not a scheme, and it certainly isn’t new. The filibuster is far from a procedural gimmick. It’s part of the fabric of this institution we call the Senate.”

Harry is not only a hypocrite:
— He’s a class act one!
Ending the filibuster is really about furthering gun control. The rest is smokescreen.
If you asked Harry Reid to name three founding fathers, he’d probably say, “Curly, Larry, and Moe.”
