re: #139 piratedan

I remember it well, they delayed Franken being seated until July, giving them roughly six months of control in the Senate and thankfully Nancy Smash had as many ducks in a row as she did as it was a flurry of incremental progress that suddenly lurched thru.

Same is true for Biden, the first two years of House control Nancy got her caucus behind a whole boatload of needed change and marched that shit right thru the process.

The Dems did have 59 Senators before Franken was seated but thanks to the filibuster nothing could get done. The only reason the ACA finally passed was due to budget reconciliation.
