I could understand if they didn't do it based on the fact that they know it won't work, but yeah, lots of people would have been pissed. -- nm - ty97 Mar 23, 08:02 11
- It working or not doesn't matter to me. I need to see them fight and stop being the only ones willing to make compromises. They give in and get - Krusty Mar 23, 08:07 10
  - And that's why they have to do it. You are one of many who feel that way. - ty97 Mar 23, 08:09 9
    - I'm angry so they shouldn't be listening to people like me. :-) What I want likely isn't best for the party or the country. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 23, 08:10 8
      - There are lots of folks angry like you. The filibuster for SCOTUS is going away one way or the other anyway, so I don't see this hurting - ty97 Mar 23, 08:11 7

        For some reason, I assumed he lived upstate. No idea why. -- nm - ty97 Mar 23, 08:22 3
        
        He's a Brooklynite from birth. :-) He lives in an apt. building on Prospect Park West. I thought it was a brownstone but it's an - Krusty Mar 23, 08:26 2
        
        Perhaps living in the building provides better security? -- nm - ty97 Mar 23, 08:34 1
        
        Maybe. He would likely have other people on his floor so that's less safe than a private house. - Krusty Mar 23, 08:35
