"It's appalling to me how short a memory the Republican party has.
I seem to recall that they filibustered or otherwise blocked 16 of President Clinton's Judicial appointees when he was in office. Now that they can't get their way, they want to change the rules. Spoiled Rich kids at their best."
To counter the attempt to polarize the issue, I will attempt to speak moderatly.
The system works, I think the R's are silly to go with such an attempt, but certainly within their rights to attempt it.
The system works, It will continue to do so provided the opposition doesn't become so great by the D's that it sparks some sort of "counter-attack" next time roles are reversed.
To have faith in the system requires that the valid actions within the system are permissable. They should both go ahead full force.
Of course, I've all but lost faith in the system. Those majority of those partisan bastards do nothing but serve themselves, Democrat or Republican, hell some Independents too I'ld assume. With such an even partisan split why go for any moderate vote? No need to appeal to border voters, just lock down all those on your side.
I can't even find info on issues anymore, just each parties pre-determined response and magic-numbers.
I now return to punching myself in the face.
