everything. they are using senate rules to blo block majority votes on every nominee and every significant piece of legislation, now including wall street reform. even though that doesn't get talked about anymore, don't lose sight of this. this is not normal. the constant ever present, always on filibuster has never happened before in the history of our country. this has never happened before in the history of the senate. how democrats will respond to the always on filibuster in the case of wall street reform remains to be seen. will democrats manage to win over some republican votes? would they, could they use the reconciliation procedure to get around the filibuster like they had to do on health reform? nobody yet knows for sure. procedurally it is not at all clear what happens next. as i said, there's never been a case in american history where every single piece of legislation is filibustered. we've never done this before.
