Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

So Very, Very Broken

 The Senate Parliamentarian saying that you can't include an immigration proposal in a budget bill, because you've "set a precedent" that it could be overturned with a simple majority shows how absolutely fucking broken Senate Brain makes you.

Yes, it could be. That's the way it should work. 

As soon as the filibuster can be killed once and for all, the better.
