Overheard on Sen. Harry Reid's Cellphone:



Harry Reid

"The filibuster by the Senate GOP hasn't been about throwing your weight around? Hasn't been about THIS president? Hasn't been a statement on racism in this country? Hasn't been a way to block progress by this administration? Look at the numbers: Filibusters by BOTH parties were used 86 times in history to block nominees by the 43 previous presidents. That's for ALL of the presidents before Obama combined. In the five years President Obama has been in office there have been 82 filibusters waged by Senate Republicans! If that isn't a planned effort against this administration, I don't know what is."
Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (R-Nevada)
