Harry Reid Moves to Destroy the Senate Rules that are Blocking Passage of Gun Control - Gun Owners of America

Harry Reid Moves to Destroy the Senate Rules that are Blocking Passage of Gun Control - Gun Owners of America: You can’t be “just a little bit pregnant.”

Similarly, you can’t cheat “just a little.”

Once you have made it clear that you are willing to break the rules in order to win, the rules are meaningless.

So it is with some alarm that we note that Harry Reid -- in an exercise of raw power -- intends within the next week to try to openly break the Senate rules in order to confirm all pending Executive Branch nominees.

You may remember that, at the beginning of the year, Reid made the specious argument that you could change the rules at the beginning of a two-year congressional session -- and only at the beginning of the congressional session.
