Outspoken MEP Daniel Hannan summed up the day’s political machinations rather aptly
Did I hear that properly? Obama doesn’t like how the US Constitution works, because it’s getting in his way?

Of course, as is the “rule” it would seem in US politics, what one has said in the past is irrelevant compared to what one needs now…
As a Senator in 2005, Pres Obama opposed changing the filibuster rule. WH says GOP use of filibuster as a tactic is worse now.

But back to Daniel to explain…
The US Senate was designed precisely to be a brake on transient majorities. Delay isn’t an abuse of its function; it *is* its function.
