Democrats and Republicans alike have been using the 60vote barrier since Clinton. The Democrats took it to new heights against Bush. And I think, for revamping such a huge portion of the American Life, it is well worth using such a political tactic, and as you said, it's simply those who are against the bill doing "what they must do"
