IOKIYAR – Filibuster Edition

Politics

Harry Reid is preparing to go nuclear on the constant filibustering Republicans have engaged in when it comes to President Obama’s nominees. Ole’ Mitch McConnell isn’t happy about that: Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell warned Harry Reid on Thursday that the Democratic majority leader’s “tombstone” will say he “presided over the end of the Senate” […]

Mitch McConnell Filibusters Himself

Politics

If you think that Republican leadership listened to voters in November, then you would be mistaken. Yesterday Mitch McConnell proved that by engaging in one of his own silly games: A move to embarrass Democrats backfired on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Thursday as the Kentucky Republican proposed a vote on raising the nation’s debt […]

Harry Reid is vowing to take on something that many of us have asked for – filibuster reform: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) pledged on Wednesday to change the rules of the Senate so that the minority party has fewer tools to obstruct legislative business.

BREAKING: Reid Postpones The PIPA Vote

Politics

The following statement was just released by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: “In light of recent events, I have decided to postpone Tuesday’s vote on the PROTECT I.P.

Boo Hoo – David Vitter Has To Work!

Politics

Harry Reid might be finally growing a pair. He did something very sneaky tonight: The handful of Republican members who had planned on skipping President Obama’s jobs address to a joint session Thursday night might have to think again. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has scheduled a vote for Thursday to proceed on a […]

Lindsey Graham To Hold Senate Hostage Over A $40,000 Earmark

Politics

Again, the IOKIYAR syndrome strikes: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has vowed to bring the Senate to a standstill unless congressional leaders agree to allocate $40,000 for a federal study on deepening the Port of Charleston. Graham says one out of five jobs in South Carolina stem from trade through Charleston’s busy port, and he warns […]

Americans Think Congress Is Useless. The Democrats Are Determined To Prove Them Right

Politics

Yesterday I posted about our weak kneed leaders in Congress. Today they seem set on proving my point: With a potentially bruising election less than six weeks away, Democrats on Capitol Hill came to an impasse Thursday over what to do about the Bush tax cuts. The result was a decision to do nothing, at […]

DADT Repeal Blocked By GOP. Drudge Pushes His Typical BS

National Security

The Defense Reauthorization Bill, which included repealing “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”, just fell to yet another GOP filibuster: Senate Republicans on Tuesday blocked legislation that would have repealed the law banning gays from serving openly in the military. The partisan vote was a defeat for Senate Democrats and gay rights advocates, who saw the bill […]

Orrin Hatch Comes Out In Support Of Park51

Society

This one should get people talking: HATCH: Let’s be honest about it, in the First Amendment, religious freedom, religious expression, that really express matters to the Constitution. So, if the Muslims own that property, that private property, and they want to build a mosque there, they should have the right to do so. The only […]

Harry Reid Opposes The Mosque

Society

This comes on the heals of Sharron Angle attacking him on the issue: The First Amendment protects freedom of religion. Senator Reid respects that but thinks that the mosque should be built some place else. If the Republicans are being sincere, they would help us pass this long overdue bill to help the first responders […]
