(1,629 posts)I can always tell when someone is just against an idea when they just keep throwing out objections... and when they are answered... they just keep throwing out more and more objections.
You qualify.
A change in the Senate rules does NOT affect the constitutional duties and authority of the US Senate.
But thanks for FINALLY revealing your true agenda... that like the vast majority of even liberal and progressive Dems you can't think outside the constitutional framework even if 1: it clearly is antidemocratic 2: it's a system that blocks the Dem wish list for things like Single Payer 3: it now clearly poses an EXISTENTIAL THREAT to signature Dem programs and 4: it clearly has a GOP bias. 5: It represents the Will Of The Dead... and NO LIVING PERSON EVER APPROVED THE CURRENT SYSTEM.
I just came back from a trip to DC and this quote at the Jefferson Memorial struck a chord
"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."
Clearly you disagree and are revealing to all the rather CONSERVATIVE, if not reactionary, side of the Democratic Party.
You must be proud.
