Good! The House is not a rubber stamp of the oligarchic senate!

I would be really cool if the founding fathers had set it up
where the State Legislatures would appoint two senators
to represent the interests of the States at the federal level.
I wonder why they didn’t think of something like that.

"But House Republicans say they have their own message for the Senate: the 60-vote threshold for passing bills in the upper chamber is a poor excuse for inaction."

Good to see that a few Republicans are paying attention

repeal the 17th and get rid of graham style senate asshats who seem to be part of the problem:

gee, why don’t we roll the dice with the constitution and let the USSC do our jobs for us, wink wink (oink oink)...

“Why don’t we just look at the court decision in Texas, declare victory and move on?” said Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.).”

How about you and the rest of the Senate Quislings file an emergency brief with SCOTUS and have them rule on it?

Until that treasonous bastard in the White House is shut down on his illegal amnesty agenda it will keep coming back like a wooden nickel. There is no victory until owebama stops fighting the rule of law!

"They must defend 24 seats in the 2016 election..."

Running, no doubt, on the premise, "Hey, vote for us. We promise not to keep the promises we make."

Republican senators want to move past this uncomfortable and devisive issue so they can resume some Bi-Lateral plundering of the treasury and slopping at the pig trough.

Their pals, relatives and political contributors are starting to wonder when the money will start flowing again.

So the argument now from the limpwrists in the GOP is that we should just trust and wait on the courts while thousands of illegals are granted amnesty? These guys are a piece of work. They should be attacking the Democrats for putting illegal amnesty and non citizens above the national security interests of the United states.

Now we have an excuse not to do our job.

So do I get this right: the GOPe Senators are more worried about getting re-elected than they are standing up to the unconstitutional power grab of the President on executive amnesty?

The House is doing what they were sent there to do. Doesn’t matter much to me whether the likes of Mitch the Bitch McConnell or Juan McCain and the likes get re-elected. By virtue of caving to Obama on executive amnesty, they have become traitors to our country by being complicit with Obama in destroying the Constitution. They are sworn to uphold the Constitution, not to get re-elected.

The senate republicans have a lot more of Harry Reid’s agenda to push forward.

“We have a lot of initiatives I think we could show the American people we can work together on,” he added.

No you don’t. You’ll just be bowing and scraping to the Democrats while apologizing.

LOL. If the rabble in the House disturbs the rarified airs in the Senate, imagine the Senate’s pique at the peoples! The gops have been selected to lead the battle to militate against the fall of the constitution. They, rather, dither, and deal away that which is not theirs to offer.
Notable exceptional rebellious congressmen excluded. Wish there were more. *sigh*

Yeah...I know: i just don’t understand the necessary nuance of the legislative arts.
