Earthdogg is like a walking talking Fox News/GOP talking point machine. He even coined the "slaughter" phrase before I heard it on the news.

3/17/2010 8:21:24 AM
^exactly. I've never heard of this until now and I don't agree with anyone, in any party using it. It's complete shit.
3/17/2010 8:24:33 AM
You've never heard of it because it wasn't politically convenient for Republicans.And the fact is you wouldn't care if the GOP used it, because it would be spun as necessary and you'd eat it up because you're just as partisan as anyone else.And the Republicans used it numerous times the last time they controlled Congress:
3/17/2010 8:30:43 AM
Why would either side need to use this strategy if the bill weren't controversial or serious?
3/17/2010 8:31:38 AM
^Right. Legislation is serious business and that's why there are checks and balances. This is an unconstitutional loophole that allows controversial bills to be passed.
3/17/2010 8:42:32 AM
It's not unconstitutional.

They may have used this procedure while passing the patriot act, but to act as though that was the only way by which they were able to pass it is a blatant distortion.There was broad support for the patriot act among the dems. They may have used this procedure to expedite things, but it was NOT necessary as the only tactic to pass the bill.Are you completely retarded or just trolling?

3/17/2010 8:39:00 PM
indy, thank you.Sorry, didn't know filibustering wasn't Constitutional. Fine by me, I think it's stupid. If our Legislative branch can't work together to pass laws to HELP our country because individuals or parties are upset, then they either need to sit down and work it out, or get booted out of office. They are there to represent us, not stand up and read dictionaries to prevent arbitrary deadlines from passing.

^^ Great, does that mean we can go ahead and sue to have the entire remaining portions of the Patriot Act revoked?It seems odd that the ACLU hasn't jumped all over that.[Edited on March 18, 2010 at 5:48 PM. Reason : .]
3/18/2010 5:46:04 PM
Because it's a huge stretch. As I said the courts are very likely to show deference to the congress' authority to make it's own rules

No, the argument is that the republicans would inevitably filibuster, so they have to fight fire with fire.

THEY CAN'T FILIBUSTER IN THE GOD-DAMNED HOUSE, YOU FUCKTARD.

so, you admit that the house doesn't have the filibuster. what argument is there to make? or are we just gonna go in circles because you can't stand to admit that you talked out your ass
3/19/2010 9:48:32 PM
I didn't talk out of my ass. Filibuster is the reason why democrats are having to go through all of these other things, if it just came to a vote, we would have been done a long time ago.
