It was serious. I was responding to SH's belief, disagreeing with him. Frist and Reid are simply bloviating and lying, pandering to all those voters who have no effing clue what a filibuster really is, and what the Constitution says, while they play out their strategies and tactics. There's nothing unconstitutional about denying a vote through filibuster, or wiping out judicial filibusters. Similarly, there's no abridgment of freedom of speech (asshole Reid) by invoking cloture. They're just trying to spin to get the most uninformed support. Anyone who paid attention to two or three pertinent law school classes knows this. This is all simply a fight over votes, not principles, on both sides.
