Nessus posted:My interpretation of this election has been guided heavily by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0Hx5ka1FiA The judge is Roberts, Moose and Rocko are Hilary's SCOTUS picks. Eifert Posting posted:The best way to fix American democracy is to go back in time and tell Lincoln More like "your current plans for reconstruction won't work, you need to round up every shred of Confederate leadership and execute them. Then pass an amendment that outlaws glorifying the Confederacy in any way." Also tell him to skip the theater that night. Jackson Taus posted:It's important to recognize, however, that getting to 60 votes in the Senate is going to require Blue Dogs - not every state is winnable for a Liz Warren or whatever. No the Dems just need majority control. If you think the Dems aren't going to completely nuke the filibuster the instant Ted Cruz tried to block Hilary's SCOTUS nominee you're insane. If the GOP keeps control and Trump somehow wins they will absolutely kill the filibuster on day 1 because that gives them unchecked control over the government.

Reid regrets the gently caress out of not abolishing the filibuster since he had assurances from turtle that republicans wouldn't abuse the gently caress out of it... only for them to turn around and abuse the gently caress out of it.

I think a Democrat supermajority only existed for something like 9 months given vacancies that had to be filled in the Senate and prior to next elections in 2010. Also, Joe Lieberman is a human shitstain, never forget. The Dems had the House and Senate for the first two years, but the Senate was debilitated by GOP filibusters, giving basically any and all legislation a 60 vote bar. The Democratic caucus in the Senate had 60 votes for a time, but it was far from the full 2 years. Al Franken wasn't actually seated in the Senate until July 7, 2009, and even then there weren't nominally 60 votes because of Robert Byrd's death on June 28th. A temporary successor for Byrd was appointed on July 16th, which gave them nominally 60 votes although actually getting all 60 was difficult with Ted Kennedy being terribly ill and basically unable to attend votes. Kennedy died on August 25th, leaving them with 59 votes until Paul Kirk was appointed as a replacement September 24th. That supermajority lasted until February 4, 2010, when Scott Brown was seated after winning the MA special election. That means, at the outside, you only even had the potential for a 60 vote supermajority from July 16th to August 25th, and also between September 24th, 2009 to February 4, 2010.
