Sharron Angle has a plan if she defeats Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid and is elected to the Senate: Filibuster Democratic initiatives.
“I guarantee that I can talk most anything to death,” she said.
The Las Vegas Review Journal reports:
Angle said that as a junior senator she could wield power by joining Republicans to block tax hikes, excess regulation and spending bills, and Supreme Court nominees who don’t meet a strict constitutional test, including Elena Kagan.
“There are certain things that can be done just by your junior senator,” Angle said, explaining that even if Republicans remain in the minority after 2010, she could filibuster, which allows lone lawmakers to delay legislation through lengthy debate. “I guarantee that I can talk most anything to death.”
The TPM Poll Average currently gives Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid a lead of 44.3%-42.6%.
