re: #169 jamesfirecat

I wasn’t trying to put words in his mouth and I’m sorry if that’s how it came across, I was trying to clearly establish how the Founders envisioned the Senate, by having the same number of members from each state regardless of size it helps protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority.

At the moment however in my opinion over use of the filibuster has done much to help a pathetically small Republican minority keep a fairly elected democratic majority in the Senate from passing laws.

Filibuster reform of course another topic all together though it would be interesting to hear Charles’ thoughts on it…

No… the honored gentleman from Nebraska kept a fairly elected democratic majority in the Senate from passing laws… No… the honored lady from Louisiana kept a fairly elected democratic majority in the Senate from passing laws… No… the honored gentleman from Louisiana kept a fairly elected democratic majority in the Senate from passing laws… No… the honored independent from Conn. kept a fairly elected democratic majority in the Senate from passing laws…

You won… take credit for what you have or have not accomplished and stop blaming it on a bunch of ineffective crazy right wingers.
