It is my understanding that they were within the rules to block the vote. > Please list the same about Democrats, in the same amount – I actually want to see it. Sure, the democrats nuking the filibuster for the entire executive counter : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_option https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_option > Fair enough, but it's not market based when telcos can sue cities to prevent them from using their own infrastructure to provide broadband for their citizens. The telcos are corporations, which are basically getting free handouts from the government. Is that purely market based? But anyway, as you know most people on this board are against having net neutrality gutted in favor of purely market-based solutions. So your are for more de-regulation then ? > And we can't say anything? This is their idea of small government and taxes? When is enough enough? You can and you should. All good questions. > I realize that's probably because college-educated people are more likely to be on the left, having been exposed to more viewpoints and having their ideas critically examined. And when you are on the right, you want your ideas to be Simple and Feel True, whereas nuance and data is the province of liberal nerds. Such nonsense. Do you fell 'Simple and True' now ? > That is also why all fact-checkers are called "liberal biased" but there don't seem to be any "conservative biased" fact checkers. That's what I usually ask, where are the fact-checkers on the right? I notice you made plenty of claims and provided no sources. > But again, it's one thing to be on the right and have your views. It's another for statesmen to be hypocritical and unfair in your dealings. That's what bugs me the most about the Republican party. They break the rules first, and they act hypocritically. It is funny that you must mention hypocrisy in your post many times, but the Democrats are whining about Republicans signalling to nuke the filibuster to confirm Gorsuch. This move was first taken by Democrats.
