In reply to the discussion: YOU ROCK CBS!!! [View all]Think. Again.
(22,456 posts)48. Correct, as I mentioned in one of my posts (#39)...
" I was discussing the fact that not all Dems voted against the bill...
...there was no hope of keeping the CR from passing, we are the mnority, but voting FOR an unconstitutional CR that we had no input on, against the wishes of constituents, in such a way that caused division among our party and wrecked Democratic Party approval ratings should not have been done. "
...there was no hope of keeping the CR from passing, we are the mnority, but voting FOR an unconstitutional CR that we had no input on, against the wishes of constituents, in such a way that caused division among our party and wrecked Democratic Party approval ratings should not have been done. "
But you are also correct that I wrongly claimed some Dems voted "YES" for the CR, when in fact they unecessarily voted "YES" for cloture, knowingly allowing the unconstitutional CR to pass.
In this case, my ire is rightfully aimed at both the republicans for writing the unconstitutional and harmful CR (without any input from Dems) and at the Dems for offering their assistance in passing the CR at the expense of their Oath to defend the Constitution and at the expense of the continued support of their constituents and goodwill among their Democratic colleagues in the House.

Makes me wonder if some of the old crew like Dan Rather had a discussion with those in charge of CBS News?

Links to sources are important enough that I think they are even mentioned in the TOS

Both are better. A well-sourced background article and a poster's personal viewpoint on the issue.

The Democrats are using the powers that the American electorate gave to them.
