Looks like Harry Reid is being the least bi-partisan majority leader in history. The filibuster is there to protect minority rights. If minorty rights get abused by a majority leader who simply tries to ram through non-bipartisan legislation, what else do you expect?
Found in the comments section here of a post detailing the explosion in filibusters in this senate term. The Democrats are so out-classed. From the sidelines it always looks like both parties believe the public to be irrational decision makers, but only the Republicans bother to take advantage of that fact. Of course bad decisions lead to bad policies, and you can't fool everyone all the time, but in the long run we're all dead anyway, no?
