"I could not help but notice a number of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle high-fiving each other," Blumenthal said on the Senate floor. "That image stays with me as I stand here now. It saddens me."
.

.
"There is no cause for celebration in what happened in the Senate just hours ago," he said. "No one should sleep well tonight. No one should underestimate the magnitude of what happened here. Damage was done to our democracy."

Blumenthal is jealous. He only has 3 fingers and can’t do a high five. Moron!

Damage was done to our democracy.

Yeah, by Democrats foisting Obama on us as President. Much damage was done by Obama and his Dem minions.

“No one should underestimate the magnitude of what happened here. Damage was done to our democracy”

I had the same feeling when this jerk was elected to the Senate.

Hey Bloomie,

We don’t have a democracy.

It’s a Constitutional Republic. Individuals decide, not poseurs like you.

Yeah, I’m weeping that 14 years - 14 years!! — of Senate history got wiped out today.

Bloominidiot and his comrades shouldn’t have thrown a tantrum filibuster. Sometimes when the children act up you have to “Harry Reid” them. Hey ‘RATS. You and YOUR “democracy” can KMA. I’ll be sticking with my REPUBLIC. Mob rule is not “who we are” and is not an “American core value”. Jackasses.

Do the high fives cause him flash backs of the Viet Nam war?

Is that the same guy who lied about his background and lied about his military service? If so, nothing he says about anything is relevant.

The Democrats don’t honor the U. S. Constitution at all, so who are they to lecture us on propriety?

Now they are crying about getting nuked. They brought a knife to a gun fight. They were given the chance to back down and GOP did not blink. It was a game of chicken and elections have consequences. I think Dems were shocked that GOP pulled the trigger, that the GOP lacked the balls to do it. Sent a message to them.

I clearly recall that when MulattoCare was passed the Leftists/Democrats in Congress cheered and cheered. ... then Pelosi, surrounded by her cadre of House Boys and a few House Girls marched carrying a giant gavel to Capitol Hill!
