6. Now might be a good time
to bring up Bill Frists nice little nuclear option with the pukes? I'm getting mighty sick of the pathetic display of obstructionist idiocy being brought forward by this little band of losers.

If the Democrats don't want to do away with the fillibuster they have other equally valid options. Some of which might even be kind of fun. For example, allow the pukes to fillibuster but if they want to do it they have to have every member willing to speak during the fillibuster present in the Senate chamber throughout while the non-fillibustering party need only have one member present to warm a seat. One of the pukes drank too much coffee and has to take a leak, oops you can't get back in.

At the very least this has to be brought out into the open, if they want to do this it will be done in the light of day so everyone knows who is blocking the memo release.

Failing all of that, Obama could do recess appointments even though they suck. The pukes don't control the chamber so they can't block a recess.
