The Republicans are perfectly capable of ramming through whatever bills they want. What prevents social security reform is not the Democratic Party, but internal dissension within the Republican Party. As far as I can see, the only thing Democrats have been able to do is prevent Bolton and two judges from being confirmed. If the Republicans were united they could invoke the nuclear option and end the filibuster. But internal dissent, not the Democrats, keeps the Republicans from doing this. Internal dissent, not the Democrats, keeps the Republican Congress from fulfilling their campaign promises.
