0.04 cheers!
Glad that someone finally broke through the idiot filibuster shit. I don't give a fuck which set of monsters chose to do it. Apparently it was the D-label monsters who did it. Fine. Apparently the R-label monsters are screaming about "ripping up the Constitution". Okay, let them scream so we can see what grotesque ungodly fantastically ignorant entities they are. If the labels had been reversed, we would be able to see what grotesque ungodly fantastically ignorant entities the D-label monsters are.
The Senate was NEVER meant to be a Hall Of 100 Supreme Emperors, each one capable of halting the entire country with a single piece of paper. Veto power was solely assigned to the President, who was supposedly elected by the whole country.
Originally the Senators were delegates from the STATE GOVERNMENTS, representing the interests of the STATES AS UNITS. In that mode it would have made sense for one STATE GOVERNMENT to have significant blocking power, but not a veto of every single action.
The idiot 17th Amendment destroyed the original mode. Now each Senator represents only his own filthy super-rich cancerous drunken crack-smoking brain-dead ass.
Ideally the 17th Amendment should be repealed, but that ain't gonna happen. Even more ideally, DC should be bombed down to bedrock, but that ain't gonna happen unless we can get Putin pissed enough to do us a favor.
This little repeal of a recent rule is the best we can expect; actually it's more than I expected. So I'll give roughly 0.04 cheers for this modification.
