GOP obstuctionism

The Republicans might as well be in control of Congress between the Democrat's caving for Bush and the Republicans obstructing like the Democrats should have been.

And what about all the Democratic obstructionism before the Dems regained Congress? Both parties will always do the same.

I must have missed that part.

Really?  You don't remember the GOP furor over Democrats blocking judicial nominations?

You aren't fooling anyone. So the Democrats stopped 7 or so of Bush's hundreds of right-wing judges he appointed. Who cares? They still bent over for Justice Roberts and Justice Alito. The Democrats still haven't learned to stand up to Bush on a damn thing now that they're in the majority, and Bush has a 25% approval rating, so they certainly weren't standing up to him when they were in the minority and Bush's approval rating was higher. The Democrats are basically a fake party created by the Republican party for when the electorate gets sick of the other branch.

The forces of good never use the fillibuster. It seems to have been used primarily to keep the black man down in the south, and to obstruct progressive agenda. It might as well be eliminated. Usually when the Senate decides to make some horrible decision, they have 60 Senators on board, anyways.
