Steve Benen found that supposedly honest Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) is just another POS:
Here was Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) in 2005, when he wanted to use reconciliation to allow ANWR drilling.
"The point, of course, is this: If you have 51 votes for your position, you win.... Reconciliation is a rule of the Senate (that) has been used before for purposes exactly like this on numerous occasions... Is there something wrong with majority rules? I don't think so."And here was Judd Gregg in March 2009, on the prospect of Democrats using reconciliation to advance its policy agenda:
"That would be the Chicago approach to governing: Strong-arm it through....You're talking about running over the minority, putting them in cement and throwing them in the Chicago River."
