re: #43 Obdicut

So you think that the Democrats are blameless here? Sorry, but I think that they were playing procedural games too. They wanted to bring this up to show that the GOP is a bunch of bigots (and they got their desired result), but if they wanted to pass the underlying bill without amendments, they could have gotten bipartisan support.

Such is the way Congress has always done business. Both sides of the aisle have used the rules to their advantage to push legislation and their agendas.

That’s not magical fairy balance. That’s the history of Congress.
