The Democrats have kept control of the Senate and Harry Reid is making it clear that he has no plans to reach across the aisle. He wants to change filibuster rules to completely marginalize Republicans.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Wednesday that he will try to push through a change to Senate rules that would limit the GOP’s ability to filibuster bills.
