No Super Majority for the Dems in the Senate
By The ProfessorThe Democratic hopes of having a filibuster proof super majority (60 seats/votes) in the United States Senate was dashed when Saxby Chambliss won re-election in his runoff election with Jim Martin. This is good news for conservatives–thank you Georgia voters. Before President Obama can sign legislation into law it must pass both the House and Senate. This means that some ultra-liberal legislation can be blocked my a minority of conservative Republicans in the Senate. I hope they use this power wisely–with Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid they will need it.
