There's a bill in the house that is going to remove congressional oversight from executive branch. Allow these executive orders to have much more weight. unitary executive theory? So you want more executive over reach or should we fight to keep the power of the people in the halls of congress?
What did speaking to an empty room in the middle of the night do to stop that bill?
They've been speaking for 24 hours. They've prevented anything from happening in congress for 24 hours. They've been brining light to republican plans and the concequences of their action so far. They are doing the only thing they can which is stand on the senate floor and provide a oppostion for the republican adgenda.
What are you doing? Complaining? Dooming? Are you protesting with us on friday? Head in the sand scared? What are you up to captain criticism. you've clearly been thinking hard about this?
Congress wasn't doing shit to begin with. Nothing changed.
Damn you are the first person to share that very articulate opinion. Thanks so much! Have you checked the 25 hour long live filibuster yet? Or just pop in to share this bold piece of wisdom we were dying to hear?
Seriously i feel like god just handed me the first commandment.
