Long post—but this one issue needs a comment:

“The creation of the Senate rules on filibustering was no accident.”

Senate rules can be changed by a majority vote.

It may take fixing a rule that fixes the rule that fixes the rule but at the end of the day it just takes a majority vote.

Republicans in the Senate need to stop making excuses and just do it.

I agree fully with your clarification. Make no mistake-I am NOT saying the Left did this all on you own. They had plenty of "helpers" on OUR side, and they still do.

The reluctance of the GOP to change the Blue Slip and Filibuster rule DOES enrage me. You commonly hear them say "But...but...but...we can't do that...what will the DEMOCRATS do when THEY are in power?"

That enrages me. You and I know what they are going to do. They are going to do whatever they have to do to continue doing things the way they have been for decades.

If that means changing those rules, packing the Supreme Court, and doing things both legally and illegally, they are going to DO it. I fully agree this hesitation infuriates me.

I don’t believe Republicans have the needed program reform legislation written.

MTG could have sponsored it before bolting.
