secretary clinton set a positive taupe for this peaceful transition -- set a positive tone for this eaceful transition of power. . we have also heard reactionary elements of the democratic party make a vicious pledge to thwart this mandate and destroy this president. one need look no further than senator reid's disgraceful diatribe on friday to realize that these threats far exceed the lunatic fringe now violently rioting in our streets. they reach directly into the halls of congress. to fulfill the mandate of the american people, we will need to deliberate wisely and in good faith with all sides participating in the discussion and all voices heard. but ultimately those deliberations must result in laws to fulfill that mandate. the agenda is daunting and time is fleeting. the greatest single obstacle to this era of reform is the 60-vote threshold to invoke cloture in the senate. i urge the senate to reform it. given the record of abuse of this rule and the avowed intentions of many in that body, nothing will change legislatively unless the senate republican majority takes action when they o
