Okay, there are 60 Democratic Senators.  Some are a little weak kneed, but they signed up with the Democratic Party.  So, it is time for a little hardball.

What I am talking about is the secret hold.  The secret hold is a threat of filibuster.  It has been around since Johnson was the Senate Majority Leader and it exists to avoid actual on the floor filibusters.  However, filibusters can also be shut down with 60 votes, which just happens to be the number of Democratic Party members.

So, it is time for the current Majority Leader to tell the other party they are out of luck.  Threats of filibuster must materialize before anything will happen.  In other words, no secret holds.

Let's see these elected senators demonstrate some spine.
