“There are many out of that group that are supposedly ‘devout’ Catholic and the last time I checked, the Church is adamantly against infanticide/abortion.”

I think the Church needs its own Tea Party-type movement to restore Catholic faith to the way it’s supposed to be.

41 isn’t even a simple majority. How can that qualify for a filibuster?

Are you really asking that? It takes 60 to break a filibuster. So if 41 commit to block cloture, that constitutes a filibuster.

If we could get 41 of the republicans to sign on to an agreement to block through a filibuster any spending bill that includes funding for PP, then we would have a real showdown.

You are absolutely right. As does the Baptist of which I belong. It’s time to ‘cull’ the herd in all major demoninations but you and I both know that is not going to happen.

Talk is cheap. I want to see if they would actually shut down government, putting millions of people out of work and destroying the economy, for a few hundred million in taxpayer subsidies to a core campaign contributer, which lies about providing critical health services to women.

Government shutdown can be blamed on Bolshecrat pandering.
