Now the republicans run half of congress. It doesn't work, blame them. Rinse and repeat.

The Democrats never had the 60 votes needed to bust a filibuster...at most we had 59...and at best we had 54 thanks to the bluedog fucktards who cared more for their re-election than the actual caucus. You saw how the majority voted for it in both houses. I just honestly wish the Democrats hadn't been bent into agreeing to the 60 votes to break a filibuster a few sessions ago then we could have passed it with a simple majority and in that case at the worst it showed how Democrats can be pretty big pussies.
