“In all cases where justice or the general good might require new laws to be passed, or active measures to be pursued, the fundamental principle of free government would be reversed. It would be no longer the majority that would rule: the power would be transferred to the minority. Were the defensive privilege limited to particular cases, an interested minority might take advantage of it to screen themselves from equitable sacrifices to the general weal, or, in particular emergencies, to extort unreasonable indulgences.”

We've had the filibuster fro 150 years, nimrod.

What it comes down to is this......Republicans only care about two things.
Cutting taxes
Appointing Conservative Judges

Both are filibuster proof. They can then filibuster anything Democrats want to do

What happened to Mr. Unity?

“I’ll be a leader for all.......what was that again.”

That was a stupid thing for Biden to say
Everyone knew Republicans would never deal with him

Like the dems never deal with Trump? LOL

That is the Mitch McConnell Washington. Total gridlock

Started once Obama was elected

In which the filibuster was used more than all other filibusters combined, in the previous 240 years of US history.

You can dish out gridlock but can't take it. LOL

Dems worked with Bush
Republicans refused to work with Obama

BO got his USSC court appointments thru, CAFTA passed for starters. Dems worked with Bush but not like you seem to imply. Trying to portray BO as black political victim of the GOP is laughable.

Ovomit was tiptoed around by everyone for eight years for fear of being labeled a racist. He got more of a free ride than any president in my lifetime and that includes 13 presidents. The current charlatan is not included.

To keep the demrats from stacking the deck in their favor. GOP finally showing some guts.

The Orange Baboon & his MAGA troops are so afraid of getting their asses kicked in the next election that they're willing to stop people from voting by any means possible. You fucks won't be satisfied until our Democracy is destroyed just for the sake of a raging lunatic who can't admit he lost.

Fuck off & do it till you drop.

Because the GOP held control of the both the WH and senate. Had the dems had the senate in 2016 Garland would have gotten thru. Not to hard to figure out.

Quelle surprise.

The GOP was not going to support this legislation regardless.

So? A week before the election did the republicans not control the senate and white house? In fact I'm pretty sure that for another 2 and a half months the republicans controlled the WH and Senate.

Showing the strict politicization of court appointments. A week later they were lame ducks.

Republicans have set a new standard where an opposition Senate will not approve Supreme Court Appointments

They will have to live with it

Dems worked with Bush
Republicans refused to work with Obama

BO got his USSC court appointments thru, CAFTA passed for starters. Dems worked with Bush but not like you seem to imply. Trying to portray BO as black political victim of the GOP is laughable.

Correction not Garland, but that was Presidential election year so that was not going to happen.

Amy Barrett was confirmed a week before the election

So? A week before the election did the republicans not control the senate and white house? In fact I'm pretty sure that for another 2 and a half months the republicans controlled the WH and Senate.

Showing the strict politicization of court appointments. A week later they were lame ducks.

Republicans have set a new standard where an opposition Senate will not approve Supreme Court Appointments

They will have to live with it

No they have not. Been political all along from BOTH sides.

Senate Republicans on Tuesday blocked the most ambitious voting rights legislation to come before Congress in a generation, using the filibuster to deal a blow to a bid by President Biden and Democrats to counter a wave of state-level ballot restrictions and fueling a political battle that promises to shape the 2022 elections.

The move in the Senate dealt a blow to Democrats’ efforts to counter a wave of ballot restrictions in Republican-led states.

“In all cases where justice or the general good might require new laws to be passed, or active measures to be pursued, the fundamental principle of free government would be reversed. It would be no longer the majority that would rule: the power would be transferred to the minority. Were the defensive privilege limited to particular cases, an interested minority might take advantage of it to screen themselves from equitable sacrifices to the general weal, or, in particular emergencies, to extort unreasonable indulgences.”

What it comes down to is this......Republicans only care about two things.
Cutting taxes
Appointing Conservative Judges

Both are filibuster proof. They can then filibuster anything Democrats want to do

What happened to Mr. Unity?

“I’ll be a leader for all.......what was that again.”

That was a stupid thing for Biden to say
Everyone knew Republicans would never deal with him

Like the dems never deal with Trump? LOL

That is the Mitch McConnell Washington. Total gridlock

Started once Obama was elected

You can dish out gridlock but can't take it. LOL

Because the GOP held control of the both the WH and senate. Had the dems had the senate in 2016 Garland would have gotten thru. Not to hard to figure out.

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda. And if Hilarity had a twat, slick Willie wouldn't have chased a blue dress.

Ever hear of Stormy Daniels, you jerkoff?

Thanks for playing, dummy.

All Trump has left is his right hand.

Oh boo hoo, it's OK junior. It will all be over in 22.
