Harry Reid Wants to Change the Filibuster in the Next Congress

Too bad he won't be there to work on it:
"The filibuster has been abused. I believe that the Senate should be different than the House and will continue to be different than the House," Reid said. "But we're going to take a look at the filibuster. Next Congress, we're going to take a look at it. We are likely to have to make some changes in it, because the Republicans have abused that just like the spitball was abused in baseball and the four-corner offense was abused in basketball."
You mean like the way Democrats abused the filibuster to block Bush's judicial nominees?

The only thing wrong with the filibuster right now is Republicans are using it against Democrats. When it was the other way around Harry Reid didn't have many complaints.
