obama pelosi reid 150x150 The Nuclear Option: What Democrats Said About Changing Senate Rules in 2005Now that Democrats are maneuvering to use “reconiliation” to pass Obamacare with 50 votes in the Senate, this video provides great testimony from Democrats including Obama, Biden, Clinton and numerous other senators on why this is such a bad idea.

Will Democrats remember Joe Biden’s warning? “I pray to God when the Democrats take back control we don’t make the kind of naked power grab you are doing.”

Republicans did not ignore precedent and impose a “tyranny of the majority” in 2005. Will Democrats be able to restrain themselves or will they throw a “temper tantrum” and pass one of the most sweeping legislation for the “immediate gratification of the current President” and do what Senator Max Baucus says will “end democracy?”
