Shocking, I know.

Secretly, I bet eGOPer's breathed a sigh of relief, now that that is done they can get on with the business of caving into Democrats like normal.

We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.

The bill failed on a 54-45 vote. It needed 60 to advance.

It needed 60 to advance because Mitch McConnell is committed to continuing the Senate Filibuster Rule.  It's a self-imposed limitation, that the Ds have thrown out when they were in the majority and when they saw fit, and it's not in the Constitution.

This is McConnell's way of not doing what he doesn't want to do.

Yup.

Soon, they will all be doing what they don't want to be doing...

We call that one "our turn".
