Re: CNN Poll: GOP would bear the brunt of shutdown blame [W:176]
Uh, because tying a debt ceiling bill to repealing a law that is already on the books is unprecedented.
Hmmm. I'm not sure what you're referring to.
The Constitution defines the roles of the House of Representatives, and the Senate. I can't see where the House has done anything that is not specifically authorized by the US Constitution. It's not for the Senate to refuse to deal with Bills coming out of the House.
The Founding Fathers understood why such division was important, why is this such a hard concept to grasp?
