The rule changes aim to cut the Republicans out of the deliberative process and may undermine the checks and balances that is the foundation of American

As done by power hungry despots the world over.

Harry Reid is headed to prison (or firing squad) with Obama.

‘Obama’ is Bari Shabazz, son of Malcolm X and FBI ‘Weatherman Group’ fugitive Elizabeth Ann Duke, who skipped bail after being charged in 1985 with the Brinks robbery in Nyack NY in which 3 law enforcement officers were shot dead.

Also, upon arrest, the mother of ‘president’ Bari Shabazz was caught with fake birth certificates, several SSN cards that weren’t hers, and equipment to manufacture forged ID.

She skipped bail in 1985 and became an FBI Most Wanted fugitive until after Barry was elected, when bizarrely, in 2009, Eric Holder’s DOJ dismissed all charges against the still-at-large mother.

The foundation of American governance died with Roberts. Once the SCOTUS ruled that we are the property of the state and can be compelled to buy products the govt tells us to we ceased being free people with rights given to us by God.

Not that they would have the gonads to do it, but if the Senate Republicans responded by unanimously refusing to attend the Senate voting sessions on on nominees, would there be a quorum enabling the vote to proceed? Or would that essentially stop the vote right there?

But some say it’s perfectly acceptable to sacrifice a potential GOP Senate majority in exchange for the momentary gratification of watching the likes of Mitch McConnell go down in flames in a primary. Much as I don’t like McConnell, he’d be far preferable as majority leader to that POS Reid. The dems are shredding the Constitution before our very eyes.

So Harry Reid does this ham fisted force-down of nominees by changing rules. Let's say (R)'s take back the Senate and just before (R)'s take control in Jan '15 Reid and cronies reverse the rules back to the way they were before November, 2013.

Well that can be fine for the (R)'s, and here's why and how.

Here's both the remedy and shot over the bow to anyone who ever tries to do this again:

House and Senate defund the office of every Obama appointee installed since November, 2013 when this usurpation first occurred. The defunded appointee's office effectively dies on the vine.

The nominee's office will be ordered vacated immediately and that space made available only to office paperclip storage.

The nominee will be given just enough time to turn in his building entry badge since his place on the mail server will no linger be funded. He will not be accorded an opportunity to clear his desk out, since the House Sergeant-at-Arms may need to impound it for evidence.

Obama is free to re-nominate the expelled person of course (if they haven't been locked up something already), but they would be subject to the 60-vote cloture rule as before, therefore affirming the prior sense of decorum that reigned in the Senate for ~230 years prior.

We show that we don't play dirty pool like the (D)'s but we do show we have understanding of the Constitutional meaning of the power of the purse. (R)'s re-establish the rules of order and re-affirm precedent, bringing back institutional comity at least as it existed for 230 years.

FReegards!

If we had a Senate Minority Leader with cojones, he would be on the floor today AND every day until Election Day with a simple threat: “Go ahead and change the rules. Just remember that you will be governed by the same rules, AND MORE, when we take the Senate. And BTW, no more unanimous consents.”
