Call Senators-Suspend Filabuster and Pass House Version of DHS without Amnesty
March 2, 2015 | Ralph Mitchell

Posted on 03/01/2015 9:47:27 PM PST by mitchell001

Let's tell our Senators to cut to the chase and suspend the filibuster and pass the House version of DHS without Amnesty. The GOP promised the electorate that they would stop Amnesty and repeal Obamacare, etc.. The GOP Senators must suspend the filibuster for the rest of Obama's term to fight for the American people and push back against Obama's lawlessness. The American people could care less about the filibuster. Let's cut the snobbery, suspend the filibuster and start fighting for what the American people want now!

Any filibuster is a good filibuster.

Whenever congress gets something accomplished it is almost always to the detriment of the citizens of the US.

Yes, good start. We should tie up those phone lines with calls all week. Too bad my senators include Harry Reid.

How many Republican Senators would vote with the Dems against funding DHS unless the bill funded the invasion of the US? And the Dems will stick together, whatever their constituents want.

Our problem is a handful of supposed Republican US Senators, who are a world onto themselves.

It won’t do much good unless we can override a veto by obummer and we would need dem votes to do that.

As much as I want to see Holder go; I think they should have held up the Lynch nomination for two reasons. 1) She is even worse than Holder and 2) as leverage to get rid of the immigration memoranda by obummer.

If you have Dem Senators, call any GOP Senators.

Heck, if you have Dem Reps, call them and ask them to move that the speakership is vacant. Why not?

Yep, that's the game we are playing. It's called politics. Question is, do the Republicans have the stomach for it or not.

I really fault the GOP Senators for keeping the filibuster rules in place when these rules are not in the Constitution and these rules really tie the hands of our GOP senators from pushing back against Obama’s lawlessness.
