What’s the harm in calling a Constitutional Convention to:

1. Set term limits on Senators and Congressmen?

2. Limit government spending to the PRIOR year’s tax revenues (any excess revenues reduce debt)?

3. Replace lush government retirement perks with Social Security and Medicare?

Make him take it away and remember to return the favor if we ever have control again.

Reid knows that if Republicans ever get control of the Senate again, they will easily be cowed into not returning the favor.

McConnell is all bark and no bite. McConnell has to go down as the worst GOP leader in history.

This guy has been rolled more time by the Rats than anyone else.
I believe McConnell is a closet democrat, and has an agreement to never have a serious democrat challenger, as long as he plays along with the Rats.

It is going to be funny when the GOP requires that every bill be read, en toto, on the floor of the Senate prior to a vote.

In addition, if just one Republican Senator would object to every unanimous consent request and demand that a quorum be present during all business, including speeches, the Senate would stop functioning.
