Well there's "talk" of removing the filibuster because: 1. BO and the Dems were elected & given mandate to fix things. 2. GOP talking of same old tactics.- we'll see. 3. We'll repeat Term 1 if they file as many filibusters as before. 4. Something HAS to change - after all there WAS an election !!
Don't know if it'll happen- it's a pretty serious change but I wouldn't be surprised to see a compromise... i.e. keep filibuster but limited or after so long they vote !! GOP might make a deal cause if they don't then, they're done in the Senate !!
