Racist. Well, unless it is a Black Forest Ham sandwich..... Mmmm...I could go for one of those on the doorstep of the GZ mosque, or maybe the Crescent of Shame...if I'm gonna be called 'racist' anyway, might as well enjoy it.

How is the Senate more important than the House? All money is appropriated in the House.Does that mean the Senate has to pass it? Besides confirming many high level officials, they confirm all judges for life as well as can pass treaties with only two thirds of a quorum! These marxist judges have been perfect pains.

I am not so sure about that. Can’t the House simply defund all the Obama garbage and prevent implementation that way?

"Does that mean the Senate has to pass it? " They can't pass anything if the House doesn't send it. There is a reason the House is Article I, Section 2 and the Senate is Article 1, Section 3. The House is the most powerful, ahead of the Senate, Executive, and Judicial. It wasn't ramdom placement in the US Constitution. A Republican House can easily starve Obama's agenda.

This would be payback. For years the GOP senators have behaved like principled members of the opposition, confirming court nominees who are minimally qualified, regardless of how liberal their judicial positions, based on the proposition that a president is entitled to appoint the judges he chooses. Dems, meanwhile, have successfully blocked the appointment of a steady stream of highly qualified judicial nominees based solely on their conservative view. It's time both teams started playing by the same rules.

Little-known insurgent candidates prepare to storm the Senate. It is starting to feel like 1980.
