Progressives are Ecstatic over the "Nuclear Option"
retiredsoldier Offer Upgrade User ID: 50121528 United States 11/25/2013 04:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Progressives are Ecstatic over the "Nuclear Option" Well, they certainly are being blatant about it! [link to thehill.com] "The left is feeling emboldened by the decision of Senate Democrats to use the nuclear option to blow up filibuster rights on confirming presidential nominees. Finally, they argue, the left will see courts and agencies filled with appointees who will protect President Obama's key legislative achievements. “This is a big victory for the progressive agenda,” said one Senate Democratic aide. “The D.C. Circuit alone is likely to make a huge difference on a host of issues progressives care about, from women’s health to worker organizing rights to Wall Street reform and climate change.” My wish for you is a beautiful day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No sound is more wondrous than the laughter of my children. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

[link to www.slate.com] As if Obama and his administration haven't already done enough damage to our country, now they are going to pack the courts with "progressive" judges. They also say they can now revisit legislation that never stood a chance before now. We have so many stupid laws on the books now (from which they are exempt, of course) that no one really knows what they all are!
