re: #52 NukeAtomrod

No. That’s wrong. Good ideas can come from bad sources. It’s congress’ job to take these things seriously and at least read them. Even when the Dems are behaving badly, by not listening to Republicans, that’s no excuse for the Republicans to behave badly too.

Nope. The ems are pushing a ridiculous piece of crap here. It’s a nuclear reactor designed over a weekend, built by skateboard mechanics. No need to review this POS—there’s no way it’s a good system. It is simply not possible to do this MASSIVE OVERHAUL OF ONE SEVENTH OF THE WORLDS LARGEST ECONOMY IN LITERAL LIFE AND DEATH TERMS in the scant time we’ve given it. And the only reason we didn’t already vote on the damned thing is the laudable obstruction of the opposition party.
If “First, Do No Harm” is a worthy dictate, then sometimes obstruction is the highest fulfillment of one’s duty.
