unless they're fighting a really bad bill or one on a "hot" topic - and they should use traditional filibuster where they stand up on the floor and talk.
Let the President use the veto. The GOP doesn't have the votes in the Senate to over-ride a veto.
Boehner and McConnell are about to find out how hard it is to govern with all those crazy people they invited into their Party. Should be fun to watch.

(58 posts)They will bundle their bad legislation with something Obama wants and there is no line item veto. The Democrats in the Senate must filibuster. If the Repukes don't like it, too bad. Payback is a bitch.

We can go two more years with more do nothing congress.
Give the people what they asked for. They voted for more of nothing, give it to them. Make the republicans beg for everything they want.
