I thinks this needs to be in Breaking. Or maybe the “Evil Prevails” section.

when liberals are in the majority, the filibusters is done away with.

when republicans are in the majority, the filibuster is re-instated and a super majority is needed to pass anything.

who do this morons think they are fooling?

What do you expect from a Democrat Senate?

Mitch Boehner is a genius.

“just elect more republicans and things will change.” - GOPe

Why is it that when the D’s are in control the R’s can’t block anything, yet now the D’s can block everything with the same numbers. Hmm, could it be that Mitch just sux?

That’s why only a majority of 51 should be needed to pass it.

Many more than one. And the Christians of the USA have had many chances to rise up, but there's too much TeeVee to watch, too many ballgames to obsess over, too much trash to immerse in.

And yet millions of God-fearing Christians oppose this atrocity. Perhaps the end-time rapture theology is true. Why would God punish the righteous along with the wicked?

The fact that the GOP un nuked the Senate after taking over is proof that McConnell is a Democrat.

Harry Reid uses nuclear option on federal judgeships. Senate GOPe wet their pants when the words “nuclear option” are mentioned.

Exactly.

A real statesman Senate majority leader would change the filibuster rules, just like the Dems did, and ram this through.

The leadership needs to be removed!

Where are the morons who refused to vote against the greater evil?

Well, this is on you.

You refused to vote against the party of Moloch, and now your conscience is eating you alive.

Wonder if Almighty God will still delay judgment on such men and women or if He will act on schedule in His own good time to deal with this evil, wickedness, and sin in America's leadership.

Animals...nothing more than animals....after 90 days was the threshold when I was younger. To think of what type of person would be able to do this procedure is beyond me, unless of course the mothers life was in danger or it is a case of incest...beyond that this is insane on the mothers and doctors part.
