It wasn’t just “the Repubs’” filibuster. It was the minority’s filibuster, designed to insure that the majority would take minority opinion into account. The Democrats will likely feel quite different about this when they are the minority.
Hmmm, “democracy” where majority rules, with concern for the minorities rights, but not minority RULE. How upsetting to “conservatives” devoted to the Constitution, right.
^You mean like prohibiting Medicare from negotiating drug prices, or blackmailing the opposition into passing the “Patriot Act” in a hate-filled political environment based on bulll??

Wouldn’t have had to do it if the Repubs weren’t being unreasonable. Now they don’t have to be. Hehe.

Reagan was such a RINO with all that “trust but verify” liberal nonsense he used to spout. Thank god we got rid of him!
