I'm torn on this.

First, I know it's needed... but could he just have changed the filibuster rule to the way it used to be when you had to actually filibuster and not just say you were going to?  

2nd, the GOP has been asking for this for years so it is definitely necessary, but I don't like that it's only for judicial(non-supreme court) nominees and appointments.. I'd rather see a sweeping 'option' for any fucking legislation out there.. let it pass or  fail with 50+1 instead of the 60+

and C.  When the GOP gets power back (and they eventually will), they'll do this on day one just for the payback.. and they will do it for every single congressional item there is and not just the judges and political appointments like Reid is doing.. it'll be a 'reap what you sow' moment that's going to suck for us..
