Re: Films and Television
I hope Get Out wins something. It puts a nice twist on an old genre. Screenplay?

Re: US Government Shutdown
Even without riders, continuing resolutions require 3/5ths majority to beat a filibuster, and continuing resolutions should not and would not be necessary if Congress did its job and passed a budget. The fact that the GOP and Trump have been unable to do so considering it only takes 50% +1 for the b...

Re: US Government Shutdown
Also, Congress annually passes a budget which requires 50%+1 to pass. Appropriations bills (and continuing resolutions) are different and require 3/5ths majority to overcome a filibuster. Congress frequently attaches “riders” to continuing resolutions to change policy outside of regular order, so ap...

Re: US Government Shutdown
I think the notion of ensuring that small states have relevant representation matters quite a bit. It's one of the big reasons why I prefer the use of the electoral college to a more intuitive "one person one vote" system for electing the President. I also like the Electoral College even if I hate ...

Re: US Government Shutdown
Fixing the Senate will take a lot more than breaking apart larger states into multiple smaller ones, despite what California Republicans and Texas Democrats may want. Better would be to make three superstates by combining: North Dakota/South Dakota/Nebraska Idaho/Montana/Wyoming Maine/New Hampshire/...

Re: US Government Shutdown
Hastert was Speaker of the House, so it really only applies in that chamber. But, the mentality of the Hastert Rules still applies. The House is way more conservative than the Senate, in part due to the existence of the filibuster which forces compromise. That's why I say the GOP cannot control its ...

Re: US Government Shutdown
It was the right tactical move for Democrats to filibuster now and force the shutdown. It proves that the GOP cannot control its own caucus, that they are unwilling to compromise for the betterment of all Americans and residents of the United States, and that they are incapable of governing properly...
