Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224- 3121 and ask the operator for your Senator's office to complain (I just did and the lines were burning up!)
Ezra Klein at the Washington Post: "Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell have come to a deal on filibuster reform. The deal is this: The filibuster will not be reformed."
But the way the Senate moves to consider new legislation and most nominees will be. Big"F" -ing deal!
Not too long ago, just last year, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was blasting away at Senator Mitch McConnell and the GOP onfilibusters and obstructing the will of the people. Back then Harry Reid said the Republicans were "abusing" thefilibuster rule.
But that was last year, when Harry Reid was "for" filibuster reform...before he was against it. Now today, Senator Reid and the Democrats in the Senate screwed the American people again. Reid says he's not ready to change thefilibuster rule unless the Republican "abuse" it.
HarryReid: “I’m not personally, at this stage, ready to get rid of the 60-vote threshold”.
WTF!?!?!?!? Is Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell now "best friends forever"?
Say goodbye to:
- Tax reform
- Immigration reform
- Voter suppression reform
- Election campaign reform
- Defense spending reform
- Gerrymandering reform
- Filibuster reform
Now all we have to look forward to is four more years of congressional gridlock. The GOP will continue to hold thecountry hostage to the debt ceiling and spending. The only "reforms" the GOP wants are those for Medicare and Social Security ("entitlement reform").
What "reforms" the majority of the people had wanted were totally trashed bySenator Harry Reid and his fellow Democrats in the Senate today. We could never trust theRepublicans, but now, we can no longer trust Democrats either! Who in the hell CAN wetrust in politics?
Give yourself another damn raise Harry! How much do we pay congressional leadersnow...$225,000 a year?
See the videoof Harry Reid when he was "for" filibuster reform...before he was against it. (Two-facedpoliticians! Back stabbers all!)
TheDaily Kos tries to sugar-coat it a little, and tells us what"good" things might come from Harry Reid's shitty deal.
P.S. I just saw Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) babbling on the RachelMaddow Show, making all kinds of feeble excuses ...and pissing me off more!
