The Republican Do-Nothing Congress is threatening to continue to do nothing if Democrats dare try to fix the Dysfunctional Senate rules:
John Boehner, who is not now nor has ever been a Senator, has nonetheless decided to insert himself into the debate over Senate rules reform. Boehner threatened to ignore all bills coming from the Senate passed with the help of a reformed filibuster, which is really all bills, since ending the filibuster on the motion to proceed would apply to all legislation.
Boehner said that Reid's threat "is clearly designed to marginalize Senate Republicans and their constituents while greasing the skids for controversial, partisan measures."
He added, "Any bill that reaches a Republican-led House based on Senate Democrats' heavy-handed power play would be dead on arrival."
(Insert playing of World's Smallest Violin here. - z)
Though the rules change would not occur until next year, Boehner suggested that it might poison the atmosphere even sooner, "at a time when cooperation on Capitol Hill is critical."
Does anyone need any more evidence that Do-Nothing Republicans in Congress are incapable of governing, are constitutionally incapable of negotiating in good faith, or have anyone's interest but that of their Millionaire and Billionaire supporters in mind? |
