In 90 days, Keystone will pass the Senate ... gloat while you can.
It will still be 59-41.....![]()
But it'll only need 51 to pass then.![]()
Wow are you people obtuse.
It will need 60 votes. The democrats will filibuster it and it won't go anywhere no matter who controls the senate. republicans won't have 60 seats to break the democratic filibuster.
The same thing that happened today will happen the next time the republicans try to violate the constitution and take the decision out of the State Department and Obama's hands. The constitution says that it's not the congress that approves international projects and permits. The constitution says it's the State Department and the President who approves such things.
Yet here you republicans are. Condemning democrats for upholding the constitution. None of you people respect that document beyond the second amendment.
Oh, that... Constitution. Right.
And what Constitution says about immigration, or profiling by IRS, or executing laws on books, or recess appointments, or guns rights, or use of military...
