Do it

A remake of the TV series “Starsky and Hutch,” featuring Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller, was released in theaters in 2004.  In the film the Stiller character (Starsky), uses a catch phrase over and over.  “Do it, do it, do it.”

Harry Reid is threatening to change the rules on filibusters.   Filibusters, once rare, have become quite common in the U.S. Senate.  Republicans, who oppose agencies like the E.P.A., are using delaying tactics in an unprecedented way to block Presidential nominees to head those agencies.  

Reid’s threat to change the rules on filibusters is causing great distress among Republican members.  Note that the Republicans could still filibuster the old way (see “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington”), but they  could not block votes indefinitely.

All Reid needs is a majority vote.  Do it.  Do it.  Do it.
