The other fellow who will be voted to the Supreme court either way, needs 51 votes, the nutickers changed the rule of 60, to simple majority. Now how did president dangerous fukwit do this....Christ dont tell me it was an executive order?

Actually can you explain the 60 rule to me. That's from 100 isn't it, or kinda 60% rule (to low)...whats the origin of that one?

Actually the Senate did this, the president has no control over senate rules.

In point of fact, when the dems controlled the senate, the republicans raised a major stink, calling it a move to eliminate republican power in the senate, and therefore wrong to do so.

So, the democrats backed off and left the super majority rule (rule of 60) in place.

Now, that the Republicans have control of the senate, then of course if they do it, there is no move to eliminate the voice of the other party.

Basically, it is political hypocrisy in action.

I don't recall that the Democrats backed off. I thought it was the Democrats who changed the rule (the nuclear option) for legislation to get Obama care to pass. They changed it for approving judges and cabinet members. The only thing they didn't change it for is SC judges. I wouldn't doubt the Republicans would change it for the SC if necessary. The Democrats are having to swallow their own pill.

Of course, Native Americans have a nasty habit of drinking themselves to death, as the incidence of alcoholism is higher among native Americans than any other segment of society, which has led many reservations to ban the sale of alcohol on reservations.

This very strange alcoholism problem seem to be the bane of most tribes in any country. Same problem with aboriginals in Australia.
