re: #25 freetoken

It cuts both ways, though. Remember, the Republicans have controlled the Senate under Obama for a great deal of the time, and Obama would have had to use his veto power more if the Dems in the Senate didn’t hold the GOP in check.

I have no problem with both parties playing by the same rules (cuts both ways means a theoretical GOP president could face a majority Democratic Senate).

The GOP has filibustered President Obama more times than all other presidents put together with their pocket filibuster (tm).

The framers of the Constitution did not envision a group or party actively trying to oppose the function of the government.
