It wasn't important enough to reinstate for the supposed (inferred in this post of yours) "party of yes" when Obama had total control over the House and Senate in his first years either. You must hate school children. I've also noticed how the "Party of Yes" likes to vote "no" all the time. Maybe the "party of no" changes hands with the "party in power"... Hmm... interesting.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
