Really? Think so? Hairbrained Reid changed the Senate rules so Obama could cram courts with 51 votes--no 60 vote filibuster rule now except for supremes.
How do you like that now? Karma is a real bitch, isn't it?

As an anarchist, republican, democrat, who cares. It's a garbage system.

Guarantee you would not be an anarchist if we decided to shut everything down and went full blown anarchy.

If you have a dog whose tail wagging keeps time like a metronome, you'll be alright.

I love this, and we all said it would come back to bite them, but I think they honestly believed when the media said "the GOP is dead" 
***i hope trump passes every right wing agenda he wants and rams it down their arrogant little throats!

I've kind of modified my apolitical status to mean I will only talk poly in the poly section. And my intent is to discuss the ideas, ramifications, and consequences of our leaders and their policies, and not turn things into a pissing contest about 'dumb low infos'
We've had enough of that and it hasn't gotten us shit-squat-fuck.
Concerning the filibuster rule, i was mildly amused to hear the media pundits talking about how the democrats will block Trump's picks, and they forgot that Harry, in his quest to get some short term gains with Obama's team, changed the rules. So now it bites them back.
The system does have checks and balances for a reason. Unbridled executive branch orders, as Obama did with 'pen and phone' aren't good either. It sets precedent, and I would not want a president Trump forcing policy down our throats that wasn't properly checked in the house AND senate. Sure, he might do some things that appear good, at the same time what if he crams a stinker down our throats?
Not only that, but Obama's changes appear to be doomed to failure, just because he didn't work through the standard channels to invest in his policies. Kharma is a bitch.
