All this time, I honestly thought your execrable manners were just because you were a diehard partisan. Now I being to see you really can't read. Try one more time. Maybe after 4 times you'll get it right. From July 7 - Aug 24 2009 and From Sept 25 - February 3, 2010 the democrats had a supermajority of 60. But you're not alone it seems. Dominant Hill Billy Wrestler still hasn't gotten it right. And for the record hillbilly - it would be 6 years ago, not 30, not 7. All this time I thought your shiteating was because you were a cretin. Turns out you are a toiletlicking retard. This timeline shows the facts. President Obama was sworn in on January 20, 2009 with just 58 Senators to support his agenda. He should have had 59, but Republicans contested Al Franken's election in Minnesota and he didn't get seated for seven months. The President's cause was helped in April when Pennsylvania's Republican Senator Arlen Specter switched parties. That gave the President 59 votes -- still a vote shy of the super majority. But one month later, Democratic Senator Byrd of West Virginia was hospitalized and was basically out of commission. So while the President's number on paper was 59 Senators -- he was really working with just 58 Senators. Then in July, Minnesota Senator Al Franken was finally sworn in, giving President Obama the magic 60 -- but only in theory, because Senator Byrd was still out. In August, Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts died and the number went back down to 59 again until Paul Kirk temporarily filled Kennedy's seat in September. Any pretense of a supermajority ended on February 4, 2010 when Republican Scott Brown was sworn into the seat Senator Kennedy once held.Do you see a two-year supermajority? I didn't think so. (and just because someone caucuses with the dems, dont mean they vote it). Never was a supermajority, there, inside guy with the Ass Garglers. Provide a credible citation, not nutsucker asswipe.
