19. That's correct, you're not a constitutional scholar, nor are you an expert in procedure

But still you are declaring that "there has to be some legislative remedy" and our Democratic Congress is simply refusing to do it.



Why do you assume that Congressional leaders are less knowledgeable than you are about what can and can't be done legislatively? Are you also aware that Mitch McConnell, who is not a Democrat, determines what is and is not going to be done by the Senate?

Yes, we are all angry, but scapegoating and eating our own because "there MUST be SOMETHING that's NOT BEING DONE THAT COULD BE and they BETTER!!" is counter productive.

There is no "manager" to demand to see in this situation. Elections have consequences, and we have seen just how far this administration will push any and every boundary.

So, by "responding in kind," are you expecting Speaker Pelosi to stick up a middle finger with a big a big F*** Y**?

Just clarifying.

So you think the reason it hasn't already been done is that Congress "doesn't have the will." ehrnst Aug 2020 #17
