Democratic Senators Seek Filibuster Reform All Democratic senators returning next year have signed a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) "urging him to consider action to change long-sacrosanct filibuster rules," the National Journal reports. "The letter, delivered this week, expresses general frustration with what Democrats consider unprecedented obstruction and asks Reid to take steps to end those abuses. While it does not urge a specific solution, Democrats said it demonstrates increased backing in the majority for a proposal, championed by Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM) and others, weaken the minority's ability to tie the Senate calendar into parliamentary knots." politicalwire.com/archives/2010/12/23/democratic_senators_seek_filibuster_reform.html
