19. The Congressional Black Caucus has more spine than the rest of Congress
put together. I'll never forget watching the members of the CBC trying to get the Senate to look into the fraudulent 2000 election in Florida. One by one they approached the Senate and tried to get them to do something about that election. The biggest mistake Al Gore ever made was asking the senators to not stand with them. Because of this thousands of voters were disenfranchised and basically told they didn't matter.

The CBC are the go-to people in the Congress -- they are actively trying to do SOMETHING to stop this administration from shitting on our civil rights.

I have a huge amount of respect for these folks. "Balls" indeed.
