5. Do you understand the Senate rules? They don't operate the same as House rules
In these instances, he often doesn't have a choice about scheduling a vote.

But you've changed the markers. First you claimed that he should have been able to stop the filibuster. Now you're claiming he shouldn't have scheduled the vote in the first place. Both arguments completely ignore how the Senate operates and what Reid has to work with. Perhaps if you better understood all of this, you would direct your anger to those who are actually causing the problem instead of at those who are trying to do something about it.
