So is Reid going to start making the Senate pull all nighters on the Repub filibusters on some of

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

these important items?

Habeas Corpus?

Webb amendment?

[rateyes]

1. I doubt it.

He should. But, I doubt it.

[Kool Kitty]

2. Why do they have to come up with 60 votes to

get anything through? I don't remember this when the Pukes were in power. How was this changed?

7. It is not a matter of politics, it is a matter of RAW POWER.

Yes, Democratic bills require 60 votes now, with nary a mention of filibuster, while Bushevik bills requrie 50.

And this is before even considering the Imperial Veto!

This is a feature common to ALL totatitarian nations, not just Amerika. The One-Party Double-Standard. Amerika, being so much more recently a free nation, invetss a lot of time and effort in the window dressing of the Big Lie.

As time goes by, ThomBush or any other Bushie Emperor will naturally tighten their grip extensively.

Clinton or any other DLCer will cause the Constitution to remain at it's current level of disrepair, while we wait ofr the next Bushie Emperor to push the envelope and clamp tight onthe windpipe of the Imperial Subjects of Amerika.

We are in a bad spot, and in a place where behind the window-dressing, we are ruled by lawless people in posession of near-total ower and the most sophisticated propaganda device ever created by human beings.

3. Always something new to bitch about

I said this would happen. Democrats commit to tying funding to a deadline - loony left comes up with new criteria in order to keep bitching.

[Junkdrawer]

4. Next thing you know, we're going to insist that Magna Carta be reestablished...

I don't know why they even allow websites with such radical agendas...

Thank God, the Corporate Media ignores the loony left...

[sandnsea]

5. Who called yesterday?

You? My Senators voted correctly on Habeas, even the Republican. Where were all the bitchers when this vote was going on? Oh yeah, bashing Dems over a phony first amendment rant.

[MonkeyFunk]

6. No

filibusters no longer require actually speaking on the floor.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

8. But they can be made to require it by the Majority Leader can they not?
