These are the two top priorities of this Congress, and they should not be filibustered by Democrats. Harry Reid should tell the caucus that voting against cloture on those two bills will result in a loss of seniority, including committee and subcommittee chairs. Members can vote anyway they want on final passage of these two bills, but they cannot filibuster them and remain Democrats in good standing." 7/4
