Why can't people just be happy with the majority? I mean... The "majority" is always changing isn't it? I honestly think that the filibuster is a great way to stop the majority to take over. The number 60 is fine also because we all know that 60 cannot be reached so easily. So go ahead minorities.. take your time... Well… let’s see…

I wouldn't be surprised if there were also calls among them to eliminate the filibuster altogether just to "stick it to the Dems". Why am I not suprised that Lib/Dems would start to call for end to the filibuster now that it's THEY who are in control?
