The FEC is completely broken. The Judicial Branch is completely broken. We can’t have a vote on a bill to curb gun violence. We may not be able to have a vote on immigration reform. We can’t turn off the sequester, so the budget process is broken.
These problems are all created by the radicalism of the Republicans and enabled by the 60-vote rule in the Senate. Anyone who blames the president or the Democrats for any of this should have their mouth slapped. Anyone who assigns blame to anyone or anything other that the Republicans and the Senate rules is just enabling bad behavior that is beginning to have a cumulative effect that is dangerous and irresponsible.
I’m looking at you, Maureen Dowd.
