plan to subvert Congressional rules, in order to push through bills and/or Supreme Court Nominees without allowing Republicans to block bills or Nominees they don't agree with.

Buried in the Reid Plan is a new rule, the "standing filibuster requirement," that will allow a partisan majority to shut off deliberation and pass legislation by a bare majority.
