UCmeNdc's JournalWe are afraid of Obama
WASHINGTON -- Senate Republicans have come up with lots of reasons for not wanting to advance President Barack Obama's nominees to the powerful U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, whether it be false accusations of "court-packing" or claims that the court doesn't need its three vacancies filled because it's not busy enough.
On Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) argued there was another problem with moving Obama's nominees: a "culture of intimidation" being fueled by Democrats.
"There's a culture of intimidation throughout the executive branch of the federal government," McConnell told reporters in response to a question about nominations and listed a number of agencies. "There's also a culture of intimidation here in the Senate."

GOP Governors Cost Their States Billions To Deny Poor People Health Care By k
Rick Perry actually said that in 2012, and in 2013, he and the Texas legislature proudly rejected the Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act because...Obamacare.
Now Rick Perry and the other states rejecting that Medicaid expansion on pure ideological grounds without thinking about the consequences are about to find themselves explaining to constituents, and possibly each other, how their budgets just found themselves in serious deficit status.
