Joe Biden To Eat The Filibuster

Hilarious constitutional technicality that we sometimes forget: Joe "Fuck Yeah" Biden is literally President of the Senate. This means that he can do whatever he wants, to the Senate! And with Democrats possibly POSSIBLY losing a Senate seat in their precious Massachusetts tomorrow, maybe he will just "jaw down" the filibuster: "As long as I have served ... I've never seen, as my uncle once said, the Constitution stood on its head as they've done. This is the first time every single solitary decisions has required 60 senators... No democracy has survived needing a super majority." So if Coakley loses tomorrow, Joe Biden will go nuclear and apply Secret Senate Rule XLVIII: "If Joe Biden says 'hey fillybuster, fuck off already, JESUS...', then the filibuster is dead."
