May 2012

by the obviously happy leaders of both the House and Senate, both of whom blockaded damn near everything that Obama tried to do.

Even during the 2013-2014 years, when the Senate was barely "controlled" by the Democrats, the little-mentioned (at least in the "liberally-biased media", where MSNBC now has most shows hosted by or co-hosted by Conservatives/"former" Republicans) "filibuster" used on nearly everything.

Yet another battle over abortion is set to go to the Supreme Court, with ever-tightening restrictions on women's reproductive rights being put in place by Republican legislators (so that anything could actually get done in Congress, they tack on poison pill after poison pill).
