President John F. Kennedy and Jackie
Kennedy moments before he was shot.
The nation marks JFK’s assassination
50 years later, the Senate’s gone
“nuclear” and the Feds may allow cell
phone chatter in the air.
It’s Friday, and here are the “5
Things to Know for Your New Day.”
Every weekday morning around 6,
we’ll hit the top five stories of the
day, clue you in on a few other buzzy
items, and let you know about some
of the must-watch stories coming up
on CNN’s morning show, “New Day.”
1. SENATE FILIBUSTER LIMIT
Going nuclear: Senate Democrats
dropped a filibuster bomb
yesterda y. By a 52-48 vote, they
ended the minority party’s ability to
filibuster most presidential
nominees. The change allows Senate
to end debate on executive and
judicial branch nominees with a
simple majority rather than a
supermajority of 60 votes.
Republicans are not amused. They
warned Democrats that they will
regret their action especially if they
lose control of the Senate.  Both
parties are guilty of political hijinks
involving filibusters. Now the
question is what kind of fallout will
result from the so-called nuclear
option? “They will pay a very, very
heavy price for it,” veteran GOP Sen.
John McCain says. Confused? Check
