That’s funny. I don’t recall reading about how many hours they stood there in the senate chamber reading from a phone book. This is yet another fake ‘filibuster’ engineered by the ruling party to enforce its wishes.
The only thing that has ever stood between us and tyranny has been the character of those who swear the oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.
This suicidal “deal” is one more proof, as if we needed any more proof, that today our elected “representatives” scorn our Constitution and their oaths. They have no principles, and no character.
“Let it simply be asked, ‘Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths...?”
— George Washington
I’ve never been so pissed off in my life!
