Since when do house members get a say in senate matters. Feinstein should tell them to F off!!!!
I love the Communist party designation. It fits like a glove.
Diane Feinstein should keep her seat. She is more effective for sanity by maintaining her Senate seat. Unless she manages to come back.
So a filibuster was not applicable to this legislation but Biden can still veto it, as I understand the Congressional Review Act.
First of all - in the Old Republic, Members of one House of Congress never spoke about Members or events in the “other body”, because they were SEPARATE and represented different things - the voters, in the case of the House, and the States, in the case of the Senate.
In Our Democracy, this is no longer the case. Senators are just SuperCongressmen with longer terms and bigger districts (and richer donors with fatter bank accounts).
There really is no reason to require 2/3 of SuperCongressmen
to ratify treaties, for example, or to try impeachments because those are not acts of the People, but of states United. Since the States no longer have Federal representation, they are cut out of war, judicial nominations, cabinet members, treaties, impeachments, confirmation of flag rank officers, etc such that rather than a Union of States organized as a Republic, we have Our Democracy instead.
Our Democracy is a much less stable form of government than the Old Republic, we have already transitioned from rule by prophets (a chicken in every pot) to rule by judges (bake the cake, bigot), and if you know your Bible you know what’s next, since there is nothing new under the sun.
Where will we be exiled? We’ve already had a crack at Babylon. Maybe Western China.
