This video superbly paints a picture of what the Democrats are up against. Presenting full-on obstruction:
The Huffington Post has assembled a video compilation of Kyl blocking Whitehouse and McCaskill’s requests.
Keith Olbermann tweeted earlier that he'll be M.I.A. for a couple of days because he's having a routine colonoscopy. Guess who else needs one.
If you said "the GOP" you were right, since there is an entire party that has a real blockage problem:
[T]here is a backlog of 101 executive branch nominees that have yet to be voted on, ranging from the Transportation Safety Authority chief to members of the Marine Mammal Commission. Senators commonly issue “anonymous holds” to prevent a nomination from coming up for a vote.
Yesterday I posted about Claire McCaskill's response. She's trying to out the various anonymi, and then calling for unanimous consent to move the other nominees along.
Whitehouse then waited patiently for a Republican Senator to arrive on the floor. Minority Whip Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) finally appeared and began objecting to the two senators’ unanimous consent requests, ultimately blocking votes on 97 nominees.
You know the routine: The GOP will accuse "Obama's Big Government" of being incapable of getting anything done, knowing they were instrumental in obstructing what many of us fondly remember as democracy.
However, Americans are finally waking up to who these people are. Hopefully, it will be the Party of No that pays the price in November. This is unacceptable.
