What Kit Bond Used To Think About The Reconciliation Process

ThinkProgress has a great video today of Sen. Kit Bond and other Republicans Senators rallying their colleagues to pass legislation with simple majorities in recent years. The filibuster "is the product of a rule of the Senate passed many years after the ratification of the Constitution. This rule does not derive from the authority of the Constitution," Bond says in the video. Watch:

As The Plum Line reported last week, Bond has voted to pass legislation via the reconciliation process at least 11 times since 1989.
