Lieberman and Nelson voted for that bill. Just saying.

Much of the closure changes involve rule changes in the mid-70s. Comparing closure votes after that to times before that are misleading.

There were 39 closure votes in 2009, out of 397 votes in the Senate overall. Hardly a threat to democracy, even if it makes it a bit tougher to pass --socialist-- "progressive" boondoggles.

I'm sorry you aren't getting the totalitarian steamroller power you were hoping for when Obama won and you had unassailable majorities in the Congress and Senate. It's going to suck even worse for you a year from now.

As far as obstruction goes, what the hell do you think the Democrats would be doing right now if there were a Republican Congress, 60 seats in the Senate, and a Republican President? Save the fake indignation for the rubes.
