You Still miss the point....this should have never been brought to a vote...never...'the people' spoke and said no...they phoned...they marched...they said no. None stopped it.. the show went on none the less....and it was a show. We can split hairs all we want but the bottom line is they put it it to a vote... and the 'people's' will was ignored.

[political parties]...." may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people.... and to usurp for Themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion"......

GEORGE WASHINGTON, Farewell Address, Sep. 17, 1796

Do you not understand how our government works? The Dems had the POTUS, an unstoppable 60 votes in the Senate, and a large lead in the House. How in the hell could anyone stop it, short of bloodshed? Did you want Demint to shoot a fellow Senator? I mean seriously, if you didn’t get the votes in the election, you have no power. And if people stay home again that is where we will be in January.
