the teaparty is using extortion and refusing to obey the law of the land

[spanone]

when does this act of anarchy meet with serious conseqeunces?

the affordable care act is the law of the land. how can you filibuster a LAW?

[malaise]

1. Truth be told it's not even a filibuster

He negotiated the terms with Harry Reid

2. The republicans are so 1800's it's pathetic

We have petitioned to remove the Republican Party from our campus, and I'll be leading the debate. Watching this fiasco has just energized my and my colleagues that we won't just remove the party, we may be able to have the college expel the students

3. Expel them for what, exactly? I am completely against stifling dissent, even when it's against

my political beliefs. As a progessive, you should be too. If the shoe were on the other foot, I'll bet you'd be screaming about it to the heavens.

4. Several violations of campus codes

Not their political beliefs per se, though with such a mindset they are more prone to committing violations.

5. We got half a victory. All republican funds were denied, but they get to stay

We were able to prevent the republicans from being funded to bring in extremist speakers, but didn't succeed in getting their club disbanded even though we proved several violations that were documented that would normally get an organization expelled. It's a partial victory, though, as they could now just crowdfund their event, which was what we were trying to prevent as well.

6. Just curious, what were the violations?

[Mellow Drama]

7. Illegal pamphlet distribution, illegal electioneering,

Trying to enact positions and views that are against our campus speech and humanitarian codes, etc.
