This wasn't the first or last time for these tactics. The cheney/bush tax cuts were passed with similar tactics. This will go on unless/until the congress changes it's own rules; eliminating the senate filibuster rule might be a good start. Both sides will do whatever it takes to pass its bills, and the other side will always complain. Business as usual.
