Meanwhile the total destruction of the Senate is underway. Bye bye filibuster, it was nice while you lasted.
Two-bit tin pot tyranny ahead, buckle up.
I could not believe it when I turned it on - in the middle of the night...
Dems should be on notice: Every dog has their day.
So much for transparency by the socialists who now run our Government. ZERO is like a tin pot dicator with his stooges Reid and Pelosi.

They will stop at nothing. With no filibuster it’s all open season on America.
The bandit regime running the Govt now, can via their gangsta methods, ram thru any and everything.
Only the Courts have a chance to stop them. Though the Courts tried and failed to stop Chavez.
They get to tuck more stuff into this reconciliation if they want. It looks like they won’t. That expends their one chance at doing reconciliation for this budget year cycle. There is one more budget year cycle coming up where reconciliation can be done once more. Supposedly only fund raising and expenditure related stuff can go into a reconciliation. I don’t think they can put an amnesty law into a reconciliation, but that doesn’t mean they won’t try.
Reid is not so much a vampire as a replica for the cartoon character Snoopy The Dog. I am ashamed he comes from this state. I plead this defense. Liberals from the state to the west infecting us are responsible for it. We hate the bastard in my neck of the woods.
Why? Seems to me that they ought to use every possible delaying and obstruction tactic known to man to bungle up the works. They need to be using every weapon at their disposal to fight this - not standing down, in any way.
Leave it to our RINOs in the House of Lords to concede the field to the enemy.
Update 2:10am Eastern. They are now voting on the Hutchison amendment to make permanent certain sales and marriage tax provisions that were set to expire. The amendment falls, 40-55.
Oh, dear. Al Franken has taken over as presiding officer.
Are the Republicans there?

Stuart is in the House? Oh my, it’s the Senate!
Seriously now. Where is Byrd?
Update: 2:43am Senate adjourns, parliamentarian ruling will send Wreckonciliation bill back to the House
Update 2:43am Eastern After tabling more GOP amendments, a pale, hoarse Harry Reid calls for adjournment. Befuddled Franken announces: “I guess we’re adjourned.”
Meantime, wire services are reporting that a Senate parliamentarian ruling agreeing with GOP points of order will send the Wreckonciliation bill back to the House.
Like I said: It ain’t over ’til it’s over…and it’s only just begun.
The hits just keep on coming.
I watched the final “motion”. What part of this horrid bill is subject to reconciliation?
I said this on another thread but I’m really ticked off about the Senate Republicans so I’m repeating it:
I think they need to go through all of the amendments - every last one - for the people they are there to represent, for principle and for posterity. It’s the least they can do after the most disastrous legislation in history was just forced on we the people. Snowe should be made to get up and read them all, too, in five inch spike heels with no potty breaks.
