I don't look here much anymore, but I will say democratic leaders are not acting [View all]

They realize we are in constitutional crisis, which, of course we are.

I am one of the people here on this message board who could be counted on to unconditionally support the party 100% of the time I am now wondering if they are even gonna try and save us.

Because of the “save act“ many of you will not be able to vote in the future or your parents and grandparents won’t be able to, but at least don’t badmouth whoever the Democratic candidate is from now on, this only applies to a minority of people, but it does apply.

I don’t know which Democratic politicians are aggressively and assertively and every day in the face of the Nazis are trying to get on television or whatever yelling that we are in a constitutional crisis and I’m sure some are, but I assume most are not.

You obviously missed the word "generally" in my response. Ms. Toad Apr 19 #11

You said the filibuster rules can't be changed unilaterally which is misleading if not outright false. Wiz Imp Apr 19 #13

I said McConnell can't change them unilaterally. Ms. Toad Apr 19 #14

Are you relying on this Republican Party not to use the nuclear option? Eliot Rosewater Apr 19 #15

The SC has overruled Trump, by my count. One is the Abrego Garcia case; another is the USAID case. ancianita Apr 20 #31

The Supreme Court has been ruling against Trump quite frequently when it comes to cases involving over reach. Wiz Imp Apr 20 #33

Correct. But it's Thune who's majority leader, not McConnell Wiz Imp Apr 19 #8

Thanks, when I wrote that, I wondered if McConnell still was Eliot Rosewater Apr 19 #16
