Democrats still have a filibuster, and they are not shy about using it.

So that's a valid excuse for doing nothing?

The Democrat filibuster certainly keeps them from doing a lot. Passing anything in this Senate requires BI-PARTISAN support right now. Any the answer from the morons on this thread is to replace all but the "purest" conservative Republicans with Democrats??

And that is somehow going to produce legislation more to your liking?
Having a Republican Senate that "does nothing" is a hell of a lot better than a Democrat Senate that does a whole lot!
