11/21/13, "Senate Republicans Can Retaliate. Will They?" Daniel Horowitz, RedState
"Just an hour after Reid blew up the Senate, Republicans rewarded him
by not objecting to the first unanimous consent. Every day, standing
committees need consent to conduct hearings. This is a prime
opportunity to grind the Senate to a halt until Reid changes his ways.
Harry Reid has identified a soft target. And until we change GOP leadership in the Senate, he will keep punching." (end of article)

1/21/13, "McConnell: ‘The solution to this problem is an election’," Daily Caller, Alexis Levinson
"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Democrats would get their comeuppance for changing the filibuster rules curbing the power of the minority in the 2014 election.
“The solution
to this problem is an election,” McConnell said at a Thursday press
conference after the Senate voted to go nuclear, changing the rules of
the filibuster.
“The solution to this problem’s at the ballot box,” McConnell said.
“We look forward to having a great election in November 2014.”
The Minority Leader would not say whether or not he would change the rules back if Republicans won the majority in 2014....
Still, McConnell was noncommittal when asked whether those bad
feelings might translate into Republicans using other procedural tactics
to stall or otherwise hamstring certain nominees.
