from these outrageous abuses of process and GOPrs don't pay much of a price. There should be a weekly summary posted by DNC, by congressional dems, by moveon, or by the White House listing all the filibusters, blockages of nominees, etc. We're talking about key, important positions. The doubling of the filibuster average by these guys is mentioned once in a blue moon.

Why not point out what's happening more, aside from Maddow? Why isn't PObama giving a statement anytime he tries to get govt to function and is blocked? What will happen due to this vacancy and others?

Horrors! A NLRB member who is pro-union! What's next...an education secretary who's pro-teacher?
