Tornado Alley (PROG)

[fuagf]

Actually i'd also forgotten McConnell's later Senate rule change.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., used a complex procedural maneuver, known as the nuclear option, to cut debate for lower-level nominees from 30 hours to two hours. The change does not apply to Cabinet-level nominees, federal appeals judges, members of some boards and commissions or the Supreme Court. It also does not change the 60-vote requirement to advance legislation.

It's like blaming a farmer for a tornado taking her barn out.

The Republican blocking Obama's nominations being the tornado, with McConnell
paving the way for a tyrant by putting quick eating termites into the place.

Umm, though that doesn't cover the federal appeals court situation.

Still Reid gets the blame from most every quarter.
