Harry Reid is responsible for garbage like Betsy Devos.
Just because one party used it first does not mean they are responsible for the other party using it later. It is completely possible that the Republicans would have done this even if Reid had not done it first.
Personally the whole idea of a filibuster as a way to stop legislation has ALWAYS seemed ridiculous to me. It is like having a tie game decided by which QB can hold his breath the longest.
