Just last week, Paul Rosenberg in Salon described Tushnet’s concept of constitutional hardball [ http://www.salon.com/2016/11/08/the-year-democracy-broke-and-how-we-got-here/ ] as “political claims and practices that are within the letter of the Constitution but in noticeable tension with the way it’s normally understood.”
P - Rosenberg was referring specifically to the Republicans’ refusal to play their part in the “advice and consent” process of filling a Supreme Court vacancy. Republicans at some point noticed that the Constitution does not specify what counts as advice or consent, and there certainly is nothing requiring them to hold a hearing or take a vote on President Obama’s nominee, Judge Merrick Garland.

as Obamacare .. and to blame all economic damage they did on both parties .. a false-equivalence line you yourself love to us.
.. that's one of a few here .. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=125467625

Quite rightly you say, "The other side is showing their ass in more ways than one.. " One might ask

Consider McConnell's lost desk under the number of bills he is holding up.
Extreme obstructionism, possibly the worst in America's history, promotes anarchy.

We could fairly ask, Did Republicans Deliberately Crash the US Economy?

We do know and sometimes wonder why, Dems Are Better for the Economy. Why Won’t They Say So?

The period from 1961 up through 2017 covers 56 years. As it happens, the parties split presidential control during that time exactly evenly, 28 years each.
In the Republicans’ 28 years, the non-farm job rolls added 31.5 million workers. In the Democrats’ years? Try 61.2 million. Essentially twice as many.

"First you have the Putin praisers...

Then Fox is making every attempt to weaken a US president during a world crisis...

Middle America is watching and 'hope'fully The Fox crowd will expose their intentions for all to see..

They just may F it up for everyone too...A time of unity is approaching and the powers that be always seem to find a way to keep division alive.... I wonder if they're willing to gamble on the world at large?"
