C'mon P! There were no whips, no threats and no bribes
But I see you're back to the "the majority didn't want that was forced upon the American people by a political party and their political agenda" while ignoring that the same can be said of the House's immigration bill, passed in the middle of the night
There are no whips, threats or bribes. Please stop with the partisan political rhetoric. It is unbecoming coming from an independent like you.
And as far as kicking a Senator out if they don't listen to their constituents wishes, I wonder why you don't take the same position when it came to ACA? Last time I checked, the Senate is still majority dem.
And yet, here you are defending a bill that does not represent the wishes of the american people, was passed in the middle of the night, and is being pushed only to promote one political party
And mind you, I'm not blaming you for wishing things would work that way. I'm blaming you for being inconsistent and using that line with ACA and then completely ignoring it when it comes to the House's immigration bill.
I'm finding it hard coming from you because you are not being consistent about it. Despite your complaints about partisan bills, you are now defending a partisan bill because you (and not the majority of americans) like the bill.
Gee, isn't that how ACA was passed?
Yet you oppose it.
YOu keep insisting that there is something wrong with tabling a bill, but you don't seem able to explain what the problem is
The constitution gave each half of Congress the power to set its' own rules. Both Houses of Congress allow tabling. Both houses have tabled bills, and both parties have.
I understand that you don't like it, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it.
The fact that they are not doing what you want them to do is not a problem, except maybe a problem for you.
