You guys can argue back and forth about this but the truth is in the numbers. Since the united state was created there have been only 168 presidential nominees filibustered. Of those 168, 82 have been Obama's whom were blocked by Republicans in the last 5 years. That is simply inexcusable and there is absolutely no excuse for what Republicans have been doing.
It doesn't matter if you support the right left or center ( if that's even possible anymore). The republicans have been acting like whiney spoiled brats and have ground the govt to a holt out of pure spite. Something had to be done, so now is done and Obama can get some people appointed. It's just fucking insane that anyone could even remotely support what the right has been doing, when it comes to blocking appointees.
Simply put if anyone bothered to educate themselves and are even halfway sensible, they would see what the right is doing regarding the appointees is inexcusable.
