Reid Prepared to Curb Filibusters

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) “is prepared to move forward with a vote that could severely limit the minority party’s ability to filibuster presidential nominees, possibly as early as this week,” the New York Times reports.

“Exasperated with the refusal of Senate Republicans to confirm many of President Obama’s nominees, Mr. Reid has been speaking individually with members of his caucus to gauge whether there is enough support to change filibuster rules.”
