Reid Changing Filibuster Rules

[hunarcy]

Not on this planet.

Dude, the Reid and the Democrats even shot down OBAMA'S proposed budget and hasn't passed one in years.

 

[asaratis]

can anyone really blame him for the "party of no" (hint- the party that couldn't win the Presidency or the senate ) simply blocking anything that moves for the past 4+ yrs? Sen. Reid is a statesman & a scholar

Reid threatens to go nuclear on filibuster reform | MSNBC

Reid is a fool. It is reid that has blocked everything. Get your history right.

What planet do you live on? Reid has blocked hundreds of Republican bills. Among them are many bills meant to create JOBS! Yes...Reid is a senile old fool. He's not fooling me!

It is YOU that has been fooled, you fool!

[Trajan]

And, Frist is stating the position you agree with, and now Harry Reid has implemented it,

and you're still trying to come up with reasons to attack Reid without attacking yourself.

I have no idea of what you're trying to say here....

I'll put that in the queue of things I might someday get around to giving a shit about.

then why did you post it ? having another episode?

Thank you for playing. Care to try again?

Normally, your party would do the same thing in their shoes, if they couldn't get anything passed otherwise. And for the record, Obamacare is dead on it's feet. No amount of liberal whining about Republicans sabotaging it will change that fact. The law was a failure from the beginning, and people, namely liberals, were too blind or high and mighty to see that. And DADT? The Army is supposed to be a cohesive strategic force, not an animal house.

Do try harder.

The closest you'll get to them admitting it is a quick round of "Oh, yeah?! Well, your side does it, too!"

 

[TemplarKormac]

Let us all remember that two wrongs don't make a right!

 

[Mac1958]

.

For the zillionth time (spellcheck didn't mind "zillionth", cool), both parties are doing a delightful job of pointing out the bullshit of the other.

Yet so many still place so much faith in professional politicians, and we still allow for a system that incentivizes them to behave this way.

Astonishing.

"It is reid that has blocked everything. Get your history right."

Nup, stupid statement as usual. Mainstream and critical history will point directly at the TeaPs.

You don't even know your worst enemy, Jake, maybe a mirror might help? What exactly is your problem? Why the tirade over Conservative principles? Is it a control issue? Do you dream about herding sheep at night? Maybe you can explain the distinction between Right Wing Statist Progressivism and Left Wing Statist Progressivism, I really don't see any. ..... Well maybe nothing outside of who gets to park in the better spaces, that, and bragging rights. Where are the differences relating to the end game? Control, censorship, burying the opposition along with the embarrassing mistakes, Government gets to control prosperity, all reward and punishment. Did I leave much out? Does imagining about all that power give you a woody??? Your secret is safe with me.

 

[Synthaholic]

Strange you couldn't retort what Bigreb posted, just an attack on him....me thinks you got nothing.

What did he 'retort'? Some nonsense about activist judges, when he can't name any, and can't name any activist decisions by them - and neither can you!

But I can: Citizens United.

obamacare right back at you.

What are you saying? That the Republican-appointed justice is an activist?

Use your words, retard, and explain what you mean.

 

[Synthaholic]

obamacare right back at you.

What role did any judges play in getting the ACA passed, retard?

Judge Roberts. Mandate to buy ruled unconstitutional but ruled a tax and made constitutional.
Now you were saying something about citizen united what was your point?

That's not judicial activism, dope.

That's a Justice ruling on a case.

Maybe you don't know the difference and should look up "Judicial Activism"?

Or you can continue to look stupid.

 

[Synthaholic]

obamacare right back at you.

What role did any judges play in getting the ACA passed, retard?

Duh-------are there judges on the supreme court?

No judges or Justices had a thing to do with it getting passed.

Are you going to now argue that judges are members of Congress?

 

[Synthaholic]

He just got a refill on his Viagra and can't wait to go to his private place out in the barn.

Before you make this thread about me it's about fucking dictator want to be reid.

Did you mean Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist?


"I believe that we need to restore the over 200-year tradition and precedent of allowing every nominee of the president who has majority support an up or down vote on the floor of the United States Senate. It’s consistent with the Constitution, where we are as a body to give advice and consent and the only way we can give advice and consent is an up-or-down vote on the floor of the Senate."

Republicans were for the nuclear option before they were against the nuclear option.

 

[Synthaholic]

Good point.


ummm..... I think challenging mod actions is a 'no no' on most, if not all boards I've been on. You broke the politics sub-forum posting rules by not having any content in your *cough* "posts". It concerns me because I'm subscribed, in fact started this thread so I have to wade through your secondary school insults to get to posts made by grown ups.

fuck off bitch.

oh and cynbdie didn't make a good point he lost the point.

Wow. Is this how Righties behave on this forum, or is this more the exception than the rule?

This is pretty much how Righties behave everywhere in 2013.

What makes them 'activist'?

What makes them unqualified?

what made alito activist or unqualified? If I recall obama said;

"I have no doubt that Judge Alito has the training and qualifications necessary to serve. ... And there's no indication he's not a man of great character."


yet, he voted to sppt. a filibuster of alito.....

and where does this get us?

So, you can't answer my two questions?

Why not?

 

[Synthaholic]

Alito wasn't filibustered, but there was a token attempt (72-25) at a filibuster. It was more a protest vote. No Supreme Court justice has ever been successfully filibustered.

Ahh, so not only can't Trajan answer my question, he has to lie in his deflection.

Got it!

 

[mamooth]

You don't even know your worst enemy,

Sure I do. It's anyone who doesn't back publicly funded elections.

The ability to openly buy politicians is the root of most of the problems. Anyone who supports that system, with illogical platitudes such as "Money is free speech!", those people are the cause of all the problems you talked about.

Are you such a person?

 

[Geaux4it]

What role did any judges play in getting the ACA passed, retard?

Duh-------are there judges on the supreme court?

No judges or Justices had a thing to do with it getting passed.

Are you going to now argue that judges are members of Congress?

How come Obama never called it a tax? Only became a tax later? Lot harder to ram taxes down someones throat than fines,

Judge Roberts could have ruled it unconstitutional because it wasn't a tax, according the Obama. So Roberts rewrote the thing to make it constitutional.

So the Chief Justice had everything to do with it.
