In the Senate, 41 unprincipled men and women can obstruct what the majority wants. Why can't 46 principled men and women block passage of some of the worst bills?

We already have too many laws on the books. Do we really need any more? Blocking garbage from becoming law may be every bit as important as passing new laws.

That is a "win" in my book.

Then, of course, Sam wasn't talking about voting against a tyrannical government.
