Are you crazy? We do not back down from a fight.
We do not allow the threat of filibuster to determine our actions. We fight for what we believe in. Notice how the dems are willing to fight against losing odds. Are we less effective?
Am I crazy? This is a fight the republicans will never win. Why would democrats agree to split up the 9th court when it is to their detriment to do so? What exactly would you do if you were in charge that would make the Rats agree not to filibuster?
You don't get the point. We do not abandon a fight because it will be hard, it won't pass or whatever. That is allowing a minority party to overrule the majority.
I don't know enough about it to know whether they could win or not - but I am sick to death of all the excuses about what we do because of what the dems will do.
If we do not act when in the majority and make our mark - we do not act ever, because we cannot get anything done when in the minority. Yet - somehow - the dems do.
