Nuclear Option

[OLD SARGE]

Just so we are clear, the Democrats are overriding the will of the people so it is time for the GOP to use the nuclear option or they are complicit in the tragedy of the shutdown. If they do not, everyone one of them should be replaced

I don’t like the idea. The Senate is structured to force compromise unless a party has 60 vote super majority.

Better idea. Forbid the use of “continuing resolutions” and force the budget process to be finished by October 1st, otherwise every congressman and Senator (as well as their staff) forfeits their pay for the next year.

Peace to you

I would prefer that it didn't happen if it can be avoided.

At the same time, I do believe that the democrats aren't above nuking the filibuster as soon as they take back control. Remember, their presidential candidate last year didn't hide the fact that she intended to pack the supreme court if she got in office.

Humans are suffering so we need to end this.
