What a bunch of hypocrites. When they were outside the norm in the House of Reps and Senate, the Repubs screamed for term limits. Now that they have been control, with a few exceptions, that whole argument has gone by the wayside.

I know it's not the same. What's happening now is sickening beyond belief. My limited point is that the Repubs hypocrisy knows absolutely no bounds.

If so, Governor Newsom should use the California National Guard and make things right.

And that pleases the party loyalists. They didn't really care about the Constitution either.

They believe that the Constitution should be interpreted in view of its original intent.

One thing of which we can be reasonably certain is that the original intent was to secure liberty and equality among white men.

Congress is oath bound to act. I dont give two shits about convenience or what the other side will do. They have already proven themselves without honor or integrity. I watched Pelosi on Jimmy Kimmel raise her hand and talk about oath and duty. She claims she doesn't have the votes. I don't believe it and even if she doesn't then send the fricken whip. That is their job.
