The criticism being levied at Democrats is that they won't do those things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Most Democrats are willing. But they need all of them, which isn’t happening… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just need to spin it at “rebalancing” the court to repair the damage done by Mitch. And who cares if Republicans complain? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who cares if Republicans complain? Again, I'm not talking about Republicans. Only about 30% of the country are Republicans, or less now. I'm talking about independents and right of center moderates, who comprise about 35% of the current electorate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 The filibuster is a rule to justify gridlock. It doesn't exist when either party actually cares. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breyer not falling in line and retiring the minute 50 Dem senators were sworn in is yet another example of this. RGB did the same thing and it led to ACB, Dems never learn. luvyablue256, MadMax, and tgo 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder Europe likes this guy. No telling what this idiot will agree with. I guess to stay alert, he can start crushing and snorting Adderall like your hero and have his nose running like a dripping toilet tank.
