Aren't these the same Republicans who were going to use the "nuclear option" to stop the Democrats from doing this last year?Conservatives usher in era of unprecedented obstructionism. This year, “Senate Republicans are threatening filibusters to block more legislation than ever before.” The pattern of obstructionism is demolishing previous records:
Nearly 1 in 6 roll-call votes in the Senate this year have been cloture votes. If this pace of blocking legislation continues, this 110th Congress will be on track to roughly triple the previous record number of cloture votes — 58 each in the two Congresses from 1999-2002, according to the Senate Historical Office. thinkprogress.org
So much hyprocricy. I'm stunned.:lmao
