Why even have a congress or senate if Alito gets in and we have

[caledesi]

the new neo-con "word-of-the-week" - unitary executive (dictator)?

Last week it was the "signing statement" so that * could write in any caveats he wants to a bill. Disgusting. Why do we have veto power?
I don't even recognize this country.

Again, the Dems should walk out at the SOTU because they have no voice, no power, no nothing. Get thee to the basement!

I am sick about this.

1. If there is no filibuster..

...I'm going to contact my reps and tell them they lost my vote. I'm done with a party that does not function in my interest.

2. The problem isn't our present Congress, the problem is US

We have failed to elect enough Democratic representatives in both houses.

It's time for us to take responsibility for our action and our inaction. We need to take a long, hard look at WHY things are the way they are.

Bracing for the onslaught of the "stolen election/Diebold did it" crowd.

I think the most amazing part is that they managed the coup d'etat with the most corrupt, bumbling loser ever inhabiting the WH. A feat of historical proportion.

4. The joys of one-party rule...

This is what happens when one party controls both the Houses and the White House.
