'Nuclear' Option triggered today in Senate

Don't care. It will force the Senators do do their freaken jobs.

Far to often this nations business has been stopped by a handfull of senators that only represent a small fraction of the nations population. Most often to the detriment of most of the people and to the benefit on a hanful. It's about time something has been done about it.

I'm amused by the claim they are doing the "people's" business, apparently as long as it is consistent with leftist ideologues, or that a Republican majority in the House constitutes a "small" faction. It's almost as stupid as claiming that the tiny sliver of a majority Democrats have in the Senate as a vast majority.

DUH!

if this gives presidential appointments the opportunity for a simple up or down vote, I think that is great... and there is a whole lot of film footage which shows Mitch McConnell used to think that way too. Supreme Court justices? That's a different issue.

I'm amused by leftists who claim all appointments should be a simple up or down vote. How did that work for Bork or Clarence Thomas?

The hypocrisy leftists wallow in is repugnant by its incredulous ignorance.

This is clear, but if it was action taken by Democrats people like Damocles hate it.

Damocles didn't hate it; he pointed out how lefttards like you will predictably and hypocritically whine and rail about it when their hyperpartisan buffoons eventually find themselves in the minority. He also pointed out how lying partisan hypocrite asshats like Obama are two faced liars and hypocrites.

But alas, you don't comprehend because you really are THAT incredibly stupid.
 
If his popularity continues to sink and public anger over Obamacare causes GOP wins in the midterms, Obama looks impeachable, doesn't he?

I don't think being an inexperienced hyper partisan buffoon is an impeacheable offense. I will be satisfied with a Senate majority and the possibility of a Republican President in 2016 if the American sheeple wake up.

Stupid and arrogance is not an impeacheable offense.
 
and won't any attempt to reverse any Obama legislation have to pass with veto proof majorities? 51 ain't gonna get it.

precisely. sometimes the level of civic ignorance on this board is nearly breathtaking.

and all this hypothetical silliness rides on the wild presumption that the GOP will further weaken the filibuster rules to forbid its use on anything beyond non USSC presidential nominations.

Obama is toast if the GOP gains control of Congress...

however, he can get his judicial nominees through before the next set of congress critters take office.

the house has been routinely blocking anything that the senate passes anyway.

ah, but what if the gop continues to alienate voting minorities and loses the house and does not control the senate?
 
What if Obamacare alienates the voters and the GOP keeps the House and takes the Senate?

Obama will be toast.

No funding for Obamacare.

again... it's as if some people actually are unaware of the president's veto powers. The republicans gaining a simple majority in the senate and retaining one in the house will not be enough to override Obama's vetoes. duh.

What are they teaching our children in civics these days? The ignorance is astounding.
 
and I am reminded of Dandy Don Meredith from the early MNF gang, who said, "if 'ifs and buts' were candy and nuts, what a merry christmas we'd all have"

you still do not understand how the funding works. if the president does not sign the budget, there is no funding for anything including defense...and it would take a 2/3 vote in both houses to override the president's veto.

maybe it just went in one ear and out the other.

however, given that the people posting on this site are interested in politics, the level of ignorance is inexplicable
