RMH joined the group U.S. SUPREME COURT JUST SOLD THE USA TO THE FILTHY RICH, IT'S FASCISM .
rone Uh, i'm pretty sure that's not what "fascism" means.
RMH Well, I am a Democrat too and they dont always make sense either. Besides someone invited me and I didnt want to be unappreciative.
rone So you'll go along with what other people say even if you disagree, just so you don't hurt their feelings? You really are a Democrat.
RMH Thank you sir may I have another?!

I still don't get why they don't go back to requiring Senators to actually filibuster. I wanna see C-SPAN footage of Scott Brown reading out loud from The Joy of Cooking for twenty-seven hours so that poor people don't get to see doctors.

If he uses The Joy of Cooking there might be some useful content, which would make it an unusual speech.

Yes, this. The current auto-filibuster thing really lowers the barrier to what should be an extreme gesture saved for Big Deals, instead of just imposing a de facto supermajority requirement on any piece of business you feel like.

Plus news articles about continence loss in the chambers would be amusing.

BECAUSE THEY MIGHT GET SOMETHING DONE. The Democrats are just as happy to be immobilized by the mere threat of a filibuster as the Republicans are to immobilize them by threatening. It gives the whole lot of them a plausible excuse for doing nothing, which is fine with me if this clusterfuck of a healthcare bill is the best they can come up with.

It's certainly the best that a cowardly, superstitious lot could come up with, and Obama's no Batman.

If Obama had run for mayor of Chicago, and Richie Daley for president, health care reform would be done now, with a strong public option, and Chicago would be ass-deep in snow.
