Concerned Citizen posted:they could, but then also the senate could simply change the rules with 50 votes and vp. since we decided that you can "re-interpret" senate rules with a simple majority vote, there is essentially no limit to a determined majority leader's power. then force them to do it. you wont get anything done by saying how it can fail then assuming it happens anyway

Concerned Citizen posted:that's what happened with gorsuch, and the end result was that they lol'ed and did it anyway so whatever. the dude is gonna get confirmed Yes and making them do it repeatedly is how being an opposition party works. You make them grind, repeatedly, for years, requiring more effort than normal just to do the most basic poo poo until they say gently caress it and give you a seat at the table or the makeup of the legislature changes Since that requires effort and acknowledging that yes your going to make life difficult for people who do not mean you well it's unsurprising that you and the rest of the lanyards need this spelled out

Better not resist, after all it's not like that poo poo happened a year ago, humiliating Mitch by finding a congressman who was willing to blow up their whole year long effort to get the aca But hey.

Concerned Citizen posted:voters are going to take "abolish ice" as "abolish all border control" and basically no amount of campaigning is going to make that idea a popular one they're taking that way because the gop is spinning it that way, just like they spun defending daca as screwing over Americans in favor of illegals. You are once again mistaking the outcome of a focused pr campaign as a natural law and saying to do nothing about it.
