Sinema just got censured in Az

[Legion]

Her version of democracy is minority rule. The filibuster worked to some degree when the parties observed an unwritten understanding to employ it selectively, not routinely as is current practice. It also worked to some degree, before the Senate made it easy, by compelling nonstop speaking from the Chamber for it to continue, not the current practice of a cut-and-dried sixty votes. The result is - it doesn't work. Rather than facilitate effective governance it makes the Senate a blind alley the public loathes.

Liar, DEMOCRATS used it last week.

It wouldn't take long.

There are only 14 DEMOCRATS on the board that voted to censure Sinema.

Schumer on the filbuster when the shoe was on the other foot.

What Chuck Schumer said about the filibuster when the shoe was on the other foot

“Bottom line is very simple: The ideologues in the Senate want to turn what the Founding Fathers called ‘the cooling saucer of democracy’ into the rubber stamp of dictatorship. We will not let them. They want, because they can’t get their way on every judge, to change the rules in mid-stream, to wash away 200 years of history. They want to make this country into a banana republic, where if you don’t get your way, you change the rules. Are we going to let them? It’ll be a doomsday for democracy if we do.”

That was what Sen. Chuck Schumer said in 2005, as he successfully argued that Republicans should not change the Senate’s filibuster rules to get their way. Now that Democrats have the Senate majority, with him as their leader, he’s arguing strenuously for sidelining the filibuster to “wash away 200 years of history.”

Arizona Democratic Party censures Sen. Sinema after failure to pass voting-rights bill

Party's says she failed to "do whatever it takes" to protect democracy. The senator opposed reforming filibuster rule in order to pass elections-related legislation

That's the way to get her to vote the Democrat party line....NOT!

The un-American treasonous and seditious woman also deserves to be recalled immediately.

I need to know how corrupt the Arizona Democratic Party is before I even consider the matter.

 

[Hawkeye10]

They sure as shit turned up not doing the right thing after Gabby Gifford's was no longer able to do her job, not even a little bit.

I am still bitter about that.

You can be damn sure Daesh would be singing a different tune if it was a senator in the GOP holding the balance of power. She'd be praising their principled stand against tyranny.

Democrats of course will use it, dimwit, since the only other choice is to lay helpless while Republicans go their merry way with it. Rules need to be the same for both sides.

It's hard to figure what kind of Democrat is willing to destroy the Democratic party.

"“I will not support separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division infecting our country," she said."

Well that's going to do exactly that.

If DEMOCRATS didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

Dems need to primary Sinema.

Non sequitur.

The rules are the same for both sides.

The filibuster prevents any party with a majority- no matter how razor-thin - in both Congressional chambers from having their agenda rubber-stamped by the Senate.

When rules constrain Senate partisanship, solons can act as independent figures rather than partisan foot-soldiers.

And not a word from the FEMOCRATS who pretend to abhor violence against women.

Then the worthless woman-abuse advocate ( a former Cabinet secretary, BTW) deleted his tweet and claimed he didn't say what he said:
