I ...There is something to be said for $1000 suits!<br /><br />I hate the current filibuster rules. They don't make sense to me. Either stand up there and physically debate the issues and, if necessary, stop realy bad legislation from going forward, or get out of the way. These effortless threats are too painless.<br /><br />Just because someone is an elected Dem doesn't mean they buy in on the whole agenda. Both the Rpublicans and the Democrats pretend that their party is a big tent right up to the moment of a polarizing vote. <br /><br />This is one of those votes.Dave Cunixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356604734843290624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1213637816867597284.post-70764278774565729702010-02-18T15:46:16.042-08:002010-02-18T15:46:16.042-08:00I applaud the Reliable Left's initiative. The ...I applaud the Reliable Left's initiative. The filibuster reminds me of that childish thing we used to do when we didn't want to listen where you stick your index fingers in both ears and make babbling noises.<br /><br />It makes a mockery of the democratic process. Last I looked, the Democrats were in control of the Senate - elected by people who believed in the Democratic ideology - ostensibly. They need to do what they need to do to follow their principles, instead of letting a bunch of bullies in $1,000 suits put a spanner in the works.<br /><br />Maybe, if the bullies see that there are leaders determined not to let democracy wither on the vine, they will take their fingers out of their ears and act like grownups. Then there might be room for reasonable negotiation.<br /><br />How these people got as far in life as they did is really beyond me.
