McC will always fold if it intereferes with his holiday. Alan K. Simpson did something very similar to this in 1982 and called Jesse Helms “the Grinch” or “Scrooge” in the process.
Republican primary voters are hence highly liable for the failure of the American system. They are just too liberal themselves and enchanted with name ID.
A senator can’t “just take it” to SCOTUS. It has to go thrugh a complicated legal process, and I doubt Sotomayor is the least bit interested in hearing this.
Been there, done that; the failure is ultimately with Republican primary voters who are too uninformed.
Good legal lesson, but the Supreme Court consists of at least five legally-challenged individuals.
Yes we do. But my rep is so far left that he leans that way when he walks....
Still thinking about your scenario and whether it applies. If you’ve been watching the proceedings you’ll notice that this majority in the Senate is breaking rules as they go. So when the minority raises a point of order they simply ignore, table the point of order—even if it is in direct violation of senate rules. Senator Session just now said that senate rules require the name of earmarks to be on record and that no such record has been made. It took the majority to table that in about 5 seconds.
