Problem is, the GOP is most likely going to gain seats in 2014 and, as they did in 2010, and see this as a justification of their approach.
Let’s be honest, they’d still do it even if Reid refused to move forward with filibuster reform. They’ll just declare that gaining the Senate majority is a mandate to get things done, and part of doing that is ensuring that the minority can’t filibuster everything they do.
