This is a conversation I remember from Jan 3rd regarding Harry Reid reading all those Obama appointments in to the Senate record, thereby confirming those people into positions that have sat vacant for years.

That's awesome. And many thanks to Mitch McConnell for his contribution too!

Isn't it amazing what these folks can get done when they try and work together.

Now to wonder what sort of deal was struck to make that possible.

Beau was correct. Harry Reid bargained away filibuster reform for Obama appointments. Yes, this is what happened.

Jeeeeeze!
