Well, they're not Rambo...so that's about all they can do is talk....to get their position out...and hopefully a good and contrarian one.
They can do that and initiate/pass legislation. So if they're in the minority, out of power, that's all they can do is talk. (or if out of office, snipe from the sidelines)
The Senate R's....feckless cowards. Since they are elected at-large, they need liberal city-voter support to get elected.
Seems to be a trait of 90% of the “R” Party. Don’t forget all the talk from Trey Gowdy, Paul Rino, and John Boner.
+++++
The last time I checked, Senators can talk and vote. They cant generate referrals let alone indict convict or jail anyone. What is that Trey Gowdy, for example, could have done that he didnt do?
