Majority Rule Depends on Who is the Majority

Avedon notes that a difference exists in the way things work now than when Der Decider was in the Oval Office with his Reptilian Congress.

CA Berkeley:

The Roll Call reporter this morning on CSPAN with Rep. Jan Schakowsky D-IL, Steven Dennis, called the silent filibuster that we have seen this session the new normal. This completely dismissed the idea that the majority should rule. Does that reporter hate freedom?

This places the tactic of one Senator rising to object to the motion to proceed to anything in the Senate as the way it is always going to be.

Not a delaying tactic.

The new normal...

Until the Reptilians rule is a little more overt, again, anyway.
