This should be one issue that extremists from both sides can agree on.  The rules have to be changed to stop this crap.

I don't think so.  The GOP will pay enough of a price for this that they won't want it to happen again.  Not for 5 or 6 years at least, until the memory of this one dies out in their constituency.  That's about how long it took them to forget the Iraq war.
