7. We actually had people up here whining |

4. I think you're missing the point |
|
They are four senators who are powerful by virtue of the fact they are necessary for a supermajority vote to end cloture in a partisan standoff. In that respect the op-ed is true.

This doesn't mean it is morally right, just that realistically they are in the very center of the political spectrum of American politics right now.
I can't stand that these "blue dogs" hold so much power, but I do believe we shouldn't be in denial about it.

10. Someone posted earlier that this is why progressives in the House |
|
