"The message was, We can stop anything you want," says one Republican. "That was a goal of the Democratic leadership."It has always been the Dems goal, tie up everything because they have NO ideas. I say allow them to filibuster all they want and make sure it's a GOP RANT on every soundbite so the people know the Dems are obstructionists holding up progress and putting the chillren in jeopardy abd at risk.
The Democrats certainly have the votes to obstruct. What they don't have is an alternative to offer the country that would make people prepared to listen to what they have to say and to vote for them.
