Malicious Obstruction in Senate. Repubs and Teagaggers Unite

Dr Kynes said:

Teddy was correct, the job of the opposition party is to push for THEIR agenda against the majority party, even if they lose.
and are you denying Teddy crashed his car into Chappaquiddick Tidal Channel then fled the scene, and only at dawn some 7 hours later did passing local fishermen see the car and call for an ambulance and rescuers?
are you denying his actions directly resulted in the drowning of Mary Jo Kopeckne in his car, and that her corpse displayed all the telltale marks of being in the passenger seat, despite her body being found behind the wheel?
are you arguing that the witness reports of a MAN driving erratically with a female passenger in that very car were lies crafted by republicans?

No Mrs Kynes, I am not denying it. He was a drunk. But I am arguing to the intent of his quote, you people proudly iterate when it best suites you. I argue he meant that it is healthy in a democracy for opposing parties to question the intent of the majority party.

You people are not doing that. From day 1, before any intent was implied you set forth a goal to try and stop anything this administration tries. A notion you hold dear to your racist little heart.

He pushed things threw with majority vote, ya know, over 50 votes [wtf is this 60 vote shit?]. He tried to filibuster Alito, who, among many things, wants to end a woman's right to choose.

There is no historical precedent for the number of cabinet-level nominees that Republicans have blocked or delayed in the Obama administration. Chuck Hagel became the first defense secretary nominee ever filibustered. John Brennan, the C.I.A. director, was the subject of an epic filibuster by Senator Rand Paul. Kathleen Sebelius and John Bryson, the secretaries of health and human services and commerce, were subjected to 60-vote confirmation margins instead of simple majorities. Susan Rice surely would have been filibustered and thus was not nominated to be secretary of state.
Jacob Lew, the Treasury secretary, was barraged with 444 written questions, mostly from Republicans, more than the previous seven nominees for that position combined. Many were ridiculous and had nothing to do with Mr. Lew’s fitness for office, such as a demand to explain the Treasury’s social media policies, or questioning an infographic on the department’s blog eight months ago.
Gina McCarthy, the nominee to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, is being blocked by Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri until he gets the answers he wants on a local levee project. And Thomas Perez, nominated to be labor secretary, is being held up by Senator David Vitter of Louisiana, who is angry about the Justice Department’s enforcement of voting rights laws. By comparison, there were four filibusters of cabinet-level positions during George W. Bush’s two terms, and one under President Ronald Reagan.
There have also been several impediments to executive-branch nominees beneath the cabinet level, the most troubling being that of Richard Cordray, whom Mr. Obama has renominated to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Because the bureau cannot properly run without a full-time director, Republicans intend to nullify many of its powers by blocking Mr. Cordray for the second time.


Wooooooops!!
