U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell recently made remarks on the Senate floor regarding what he termed a ‘culture of intimidation’ that exists in which Big Labor allies in the Senate, such as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, are threatening to use the so-called “nuclear option” if they don’t get their way every time. Said McConnell:
“Recently, we’ve seen troubling signs that there are some in the Executive Branch who would use the power of the federal government to intimidate political opponents.
“It all points to a culture of political intimidation. But, unfortunately, it doesn’t seem that the culture of intimidation is simply confined to the Executive Branch.
“The Administration’s allies in the Senate are trying to intimidate their political opponents as well. What I’m talking about, is the persistent threat by the Majority to break the rules of the Senate in order to change the Rules of the Senate—in other words, to use the nuclear option—if they don’t get their way.”
