92. I'm tired of hearing that cloture prevents
Democrats from using power. When for eight years it did not stop Bush from breaking the tradition of over 200 years of civil liberties and military justice in our moribund republic.

Obama does not appear to have realized that the GOP is a disloyal opposition and enemies of the state. Let's hope we someday have another Democratic president who realizes that no good comes from negotiating with the right wing.

Can anyone explain why the Dems need 60 votes when they are in power while the GOP doesn't?
