They have two years to make at least SOME meaningful changes, and the clock is ticking.

The clock is ticking? It's been about 61 hours since the Republicans have been assured of taking control of the Senate this next year and we have heard from Republicans:

-partial birth abortion is going to be banned
-we need to get the judicial nominees to the full Senate ASAP
-we need to defend our borders with troops if needed
-A trial balloon has gone up talking about scrapping the IRS and the tax code

How much faster do you think the Republicans can put out statements of what they want to do?

OK. Roe V. Wade needs to go away and the States need to determine this issue.

-we need to get the judicial nominees to the full Senate ASAP

Especially judges who know what an "individual Right" is and why it is "unalienable".

-we need to defend our borders with troops if needed

I'd prefer a "Metal Storm Area Denial" system. Turning the US into another East Berlin isn't a good thing. Defending us from the invasion of illegals coming across the border may reqiure a forceful deterrent.

-A trial balloon has gone up talking about scrapping the IRS and the tax code

Trial balloon is right. If they go with an NRST as a replacement system, this alone would cause me to switch back to the Republican party.

Still, it's all just talk. Show me a signed bill before you expect me to get too excited. I've heard a lot of talk. The actions will give proof to the lie.
