Regime change disguised as a narrow rules fight. We could choose to institute a British-style parliamentary system in which majorities get almost everything they want. But advocates of such a radical departure should be honest enough to propose amending the Constitution first.

While I dislike the Democrats' use of the filibuster to block judicial nominees (I think they should allow an up or down vote), the Republicans are wrong to remove this powerful tool. How quick they are to forget what it was like to be in the minority in the Senate.
