Senator Reed to Force Filibuster

This is a start. In response to Republicans obstructionism to block the Reed/Levin Iraq legislation Majority Leader Harry Reid plans to force the Republicans into an all night filibuster. Remember the filibuster? The hated horrific tactic the democrats never used, but only threatened and Republicans nearly abolished the rule. Here is to the hypocricy of it all. But, Senator Reid is responding to calls from the blogoshpere and he listened.

Senator Reid:

I would like to inform the Republican leadership and all my colleagues that we have no intention of backing down. If Republicans do not allow a vote on Levin/Reed today or tomorrow, we will work straight through the night on Tuesday. The American people deserve an open and honest debate on this war, and they deserve an up or down vote on this amendment to end it.
