    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      I can't believe that any intelligent politician would believe that changing the filibuster rules will not come around to bite them in the ass when parties are reversed. Harry Reid did it, and he was applauded. When Mitch McConnell did it, he was vilified.

      Waiting for someone in the MSM to call out Schumer on his hypocrisy on the position. A decade ago, to eliminate it was a threat to democracy. Today, to keep it is a threat to democracy.

      Are people really that stupid that they don't see that?

      Probably. Or, perhaps they just don't care.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          The incentives are clear. They're elected for this term. Very hard to act beyond that.

            Senator Tom Cotton speaks against the filibuster.

            Using nothing but Chuck Schumer's words...

              Harry Reid did it, and he was applauded. When Mitch McConnell did it, he was vilified.

              They were both applauded and vilified, just by different people.

              Only non-witches get due process.

                True.

                The difference being that The Turtle followed Reid's example. Dingy Harry did it without precedent.
