The Immoral Minority: Sarah Palin has her very own nuclear meltdown over the Democrat's decision to return to simple majority votes to confirm judges and approve executive office appointments.

Friday, November 22, 2013

Sarah Palin has her very own nuclear meltdown over the Democrat's decision to return to simple majority votes to confirm judges and approve executive office appointments.

Courtesy of Facebook.

From the poisoned pen of Palin's personal ghostwrtiter:

May this day honor the late President John F. Kennedy. In his honor, and to protect our republic, Americans implore today's elected leaders to exercise virtuous truth and integrity in office. (Not to put too find of a point on it, but does ANYBODY really believe that Sarah Palin has ANY respect for John F. Kennedy? No, her hero is Ronald Reagan was the very antithesis to JFK.)

Shockingly to some, the White House and Senate Democrats, desperate for a winning political talking point before Congress’s Thanksgiving vacation, just did the opposite.

Liberals just changed 230 years of enduring Senate rules by enacting the “Nuclear Option” that will now let just 51 votes approve the President’s nominees, and thus prevent dissenting Senators from filibustering controversial appointees who’ll be charged with decision making that affects our lives. (And they were forced to do so by who exactly?)

This is significant as further proof that our government is so broken. (And the Teabaggers you supported broke it.) When politicians can’t get anything to work, they change rules and hope we’ll just get distracted. The hugely divisive, dysfunctional “Nuclear Option” sets a terrible precedent. (It might make Palin feel better if she realizes that many refer to his rule change as the "constitutional option." After all she so LOVES the Constitution. But then again probably not.) Mark Levin appropriately calls it “the latest act of leftist tyranny.” It’s also leftist hypocrisy. Back under Republican control of the Senate, Democrats blocked President Bush’s judicial appointees. You should have heard Harry Reid and then-Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden freak out in railing against the “danger... arrogance... poison” of the Republican majority even considering enacting such a rule change. To ensure cooperation and unity in balancing power for We the People, Republicans wisely did not change the rules. (Yes but that was before this happened.)

But that was then. Now this makes for a nice Thanksgiving distraction for the left, but Americans are awake today – we’re not easily distracted with turkeys like this. (Turkeys, oh that reminds me, I have a video to put up next Thursday morning.)

Do these far leftists realize Americans will not be chatting cheerfully around our Thanksgiving tables about how Obama and Reid nuked Senate rules? No, if political speak befalls dinner, we’ll no doubt vent about losing health insurance, seeing premiums skyrocket, not being able to afford unworkable Obamacare plans, and still wanting socialized healthcare scrapped altogether. We'll discuss disappointment in the President and his Party for lying to us. (Don't worry we liberals are ready for that.)

But don’t let this distraction ruin your Thanksgiving, America! Be thankful for at least one thing revealed in this latest radical act of the far left: more Americans are now stirred from slumber! (Yes we are, and the majority of us are liberals.) Only a Butterball’s serotonin-induced sleepiness after dinner will lull us back in; Senate power grabbing distractions won’t do it. (Update: I think she meant Tryptophan-induced sleepiness, NOT serotonin.)

- Sarah Palin

This was not a power grab, this was simply a repair of a broken system that the Republicans had taken advantage of in order to nullify the election of Barack Obama. They do not consider him a legitimate President so they have refused to treat him like a legitimate President.

Harry Reid is on record for not wanting to change this rule, and in fact has resisted incredible pressure from the liberals to do something to fix this broken system for quite a long time. He did not change his mind, the Republicans changed it for him.

Sarah Palin and her conservative buddies were counting on the Democrats to continue playing by the rules forever even as the Republicans tied their shoelaces together, peed in their Gatorade, and hid home plate repeatedly in order to win by any means possible, what they could not win fairly.

Well, if I may be so blunt, fuck them!

They have NOBODY to blame except themselves. And as Rachel Maddow pointed out last night, all the Republicans had to do to avoid this outcome, was to simply allow the President to appoint three more judges to the federal court. The Republicans refused to let that happen, and the Democrats had had enough.

And as for this biting the Democrats in the butt the next time there is a Republican President and Republican majority in the Senate, not really. Number one, considering how the GOP is viewed these days, we may all be dead before that happens. And number two as a rule the Democrats don't pull this filibuster crap nearly as often as the Republicans, and not having the option will have very little effect on how we govern.

After all Democrats are actually interested in governing, NOT breaking the government so that it no longer functions.

Jon Stewart surveyed the "nuclear" fallout on Thursday following the Senate's vote to eliminate the filibuster for judicial nominees, and it looked more mundane than bleak.

"So deciding to allow majority rules to incrementally increase governmental efficiency and presidential appointments is so unthinkably extreme, it’s the ‘nuclear option’?” he asked. “It’s just like Hiroshima of voting.”

Stewart also mocked Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for threatening to eliminate the filibuster entirely in retaliation for the Democrat's move.

"Mark my words! One day you Democrats will want to be obstructionist a**holes, making a mockery of our system of government!" he said. "And who will be laughing then? Turtle Man."

But once the "nuclear option" was triggered, Stewart knew history was made.

"Once judicial nominees could be confirmed by simple majority, Christmas was abruptly cancelled, and babies were born knowing all the curse words," he said.

We’ve seen the Republican reaction to Harry Reid’s reluctant and long-delayed decision to invoke the so-called nuclear option, changing the Senate’s filibuster rules so that Obama’s judicial nominees get the simple up-or-down votes they deserve.

It’s been fun, if frustrating to watch. Rand Paul did what Rand Paul does best and threw a tantrum. We just wish he would take his toys and go home to conclude his childish reaction. Sean Hannity once supported filibuster reform. Now he is calling it “One of the most lawless power grabs” in U.S. history. The rules allow for it, but it’s a power grab? Rush Limbaugh melted down, calling the democratic process “dictatorship,” and of course, Fox News went straight for the false equivalency cupboard.

It has been fun because exploding Republican heads are a joy, but frustrating because they get to tell their lies in response and have them obligingly repeated by a compliant and complicit mainstream media. Look at CNN repeating the myth that “Both parties have been guilty of political hijinks involving filibusters.”

If you want to know how bad things got before Harry Reid did what needed to be done, look at Right Wing Watch’s list of “ten most outrageous filibusters of Obama’s nominees” and at the five charts provided by People for the American Way. You will see (as if any liberal or progressive needs to be told) that that claim “both sides do it” does not hold water:

I have no doubt that the civility crowd will scream bloody murder now that Harry Reid has dropped the big one in the Senate. They may need the Jaws of Life to pry Ruth Marcus off the fainting couch. As I said before. I was nervous about this prospect for years, but recently passed over the International Fk You Line. The country has a right to be governed by the president and the philosophy for which the country voted. Vandalism is not debate. It is not governing. It is long past time for Barack Obama actually to be allowed to be president.

(And, it must be said, the fact that it was necessary for the Senate to take this step further belies as naive the president's star-making speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention.)

Good for Pat Leahy for stepping up on this. All I can say is that Harry Reid must have been a tough fighter for the late rounds.

I'm pretty sure Palin has no idea of the change in procedures that has led to the current situation.This happened in 1975, and the founding fathers would have had no idea this could ever happen.

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/04/how-the-modern-faux-filibuster-came-to-be/255374/

"In response to several recent items about the "defeat" of a bill by a 51-47 vote -- a law on which 51 senators voted Yes -- several readers write to emphasize the historical background worth always keeping in mind. As a refresher:

- There is nothing about the filibuster in the Constitution, which does say that the Senate (like the House) shall set its own rules and which specifies a few conditions (treaties, impeachment, veto override, etc) requiring more than a simple majority vote;

- Through the 19th century, Senate rules and practice evolved to allow unlimited debate that could block votes on certain bills -- that is, a filibuster;

- Nearly a century ago, in 1917 during the Woodrow Wilson administration, the filibuster rules most people associate with that word were set. Senators who opposed a measure could talk as long as they wanted, to prevent it coming to a vote -- unless two thirds of their colleagues voted to cut them off, through "cloture". But it had to be "real" debate, or at least oratory, with Senators holding the floor and talking till they dropped;

- That's the view of the filibuster that was popularized in differing ways by: Frank Capra and Jimmy Stewart; Strom Thurmond; and Huey Long.

BUT THEN, in 1975, the rules changed, in a way that eventually gave us our current filibuster-everything-without-really-filibustering environment. A reader takes up the story from here:

Many of your readers may not know what you and I and [a reporter I quoted] no doubt do, to wit, that until 1975 cloture required a 2/3 vote and that that was changed then to the current 3/5 (except in a vote on Senate rules which still needs 2/3). Even more interesting, however, is that the 2/3 was 'of Senators present and voting' and the 3/5 is 'of Senators sworn'. That, of course, is why it used to be that a filibuster could be continued only while the filibusterers kept their forces on the floor in sufficient numbers to constitute a third of all present, while since 1975 a Senator at home in bed is a vote to continue the filibuster. That changed everything and there is no more strategy involved, i.e., you have 60 votes or you don't and persuading an opponent to abstain or absent himself for an hour is without effect."

There is much more worth reading in the article, but this is the gist of it. The filibuster has become simple minority obstruction of the majority with little consequence.

Well, it finally happened.

After five years of filibusters, obstruction, lengthy waits for confirmation and arguments over whether the party that failed to win either the White House or the Senate nonetheless has the power to hold top government jobs open for as long as Barack Obama is president, Senate Democrats finally decided that enough is enough. On Thursday, nearly every member of the Democratic caucus invoked a procedural maneuver that will allow the Senate to confirm several blocked nominees by a majority vote. The era of minority rule is over, at least where it comes to almost every confirmation.

As the two parties try to blame each other for the circumstances that made this maneuver necessary, a lot of graphs, charts, statistics and outright fabrications are going to be thrown around by each side to prove that the other was the instigator. The truth, however, is that you only need to look at one chart to understand how we got here — this one:

...But, beyond the unprecedented frequency of filibusters under Mitch McConnell, the current Republican minority wielded them to seize an unprecedented degree of control over the law and the judiciary. With enough creativity, Senate Republicans discovered that the filibuster could not simply prevent new laws from being enacted, it could also be used to effectively repeal laws protecting workers and regulating Wall Street. By refusing to confirm nominees to lifetime appointments on the federal bench, they could also ensure that some of the nation’s most powerful courts remained in Republican hands. And looming over all of this is the next Supreme Court vacancy. If Senate Republicans will use the filibuster today to keep their grip on the nation’s second most powerful court, imagine what they’ll do if a justice retires.

Democracy Returns to the Senate

For five years, Senate Republicans have refused to allow confirmation votes on dozens of perfectly qualified candidates nominated by President Obama for government positions. They tried to nullify entire federal agencies by denying them leaders. They abused Senate rules past the point of tolerance or responsibility. And so they were left enraged and threatening revenge on Thursday when a majority did the only logical thing and stripped away their power to block the president’s nominees.

In a 52-to-48 vote that substantially altered the balance of power in Washington, the Senate changed its most infuriating rule and effectively ended the filibuster on executive and judicial appointments. From now on, if any senator tries to filibuster a presidential nominee, that filibuster can be stopped with a simple majority, not the 60-vote requirement of the past. That means a return to the democratic process of giving nominees an up-or-down vote, allowing them to be either confirmed or rejected by a simple majority.

The only exceptions are nominations to the Supreme Court, for which a filibuster would still be allowed. But now that the Senate has begun to tear down undemocratic procedures, the precedent set on Thursday will increase the pressure to end those filibusters, too.

This vote was long overdue. “I have waited 18 years for this moment,” said Senator Tom Harkin, Democrat of Iowa.

It would have been unthinkable just a few months ago, when the majority leader, Harry Reid, was still holding out hope for a long-lasting deal with Republicans and insisting that federal judges, because of their lifetime appointments, should still be subject to supermajority thresholds. But Mr. Reid, along with all but three Senate Democrats, was pushed to act by the Republicans’ refusal to allow any appointments to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, just because they wanted to keep a conservative majority on that important court.

That move was as outrageous as the tactic they used earlier this year to try to cripple the National Labor Relations Board and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (which they despise) by blocking all appointments to those agencies. That obstruction was removed in July when Mr. Reid threatened to end the filibuster and Republicans backed down. The recent blockade of judges to the D.C. appellate court was the last straw.

Republicans warned that the rule change could haunt the Democrats if they lost the White House and the Senate. But the Constitution gives presidents the right to nominate top officials in their administration and name judges, and it says nothing about the ability of a Senate minority to stop them. (The practice barely existed before the 1970s.) From now on, voters will have to understand that presidents are likely to get their way on nominations if their party controls the Senate.

Given the extreme degree of Republican obstruction during the Obama administration, the Democrats had little choice but to change the filibuster rule. As Mr. Reid noted on the floor, half of all filibusters waged against nominations in Senate history have occurred since Mr. Obama was elected. Twenty of his district court nominees were filibustered; only three such filibusters took place before he took office. There has also been a record-setting amount of delay in approving the president’s choices for cabinet positions and federal agency posts, even when no objections have been raised about a nominee’s qualifications.

The rule change does not end the...

Once Again, Progressives Should be Thanking Harry Reid

What every progressive needs to learn is that political things don’t just happen because someone wants them to. They happen when a majority is ready to vote to make them happen.

Back in January, as many of you will recall, I took a lot of heat because I stood up for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his valiant attempt to change filibuster rules. The man worked his ass off to make changes, and he actually got quite a few of them, despite the fact that he didn’t have 51 votes to make them happen. He was able to change the rules, so that Senators could no longer put a blind hold on a nomination – they had to make themselves known – and he also got an agreement from Republicans to stop holding up nominations. This was a crucial deal. He did all of this, despite the fact that he had between 45 and 47 votes, because he was able to convince the Republican leadership that he had 51, which scared them silly.

The reason he didn’t have enough votes is simple, and it falls right into the laps of that small but loud group of progressives who think they know more than everyone else about politics, even though they’re always wrong, and they undermine the progressive cause constantly.....

S.953 — Student Loan Affordability Act

Here’s an astonishing one. The Republicans filibustered the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act — literally, healthcare for 9/11 heroes. Every Republican senator voted to filibuster this bill.

During the president’s first two years in office, the 111th Congress, there were 137 cloture motions filed to end Republican filibusters. During the president’s second two years, the 112th Congress, there were 115 motions filed to end Republican filibusters. The 113th Congress, in its first year, is halfway to matching these numbers with 55 cloture motions. Compare this to George W. Bush’s first term when there were a total of 133 cloture motions filed.

Harry Reid Has Dealt a Major Blow to The Senate Republican Agenda

...Republicans will be crying foul for days because their little dictatorship suffered a setback, and although the Senate vote to allow a majority to confirm or reject Presidential nominees was a necessary step to get the government working again, it will not stop Republican obstructionism on legislation. However, it does end the dictatorship that unilaterally rewrote the law by demanding a 60-vote supermajority threshold for President Obama’s high-level appointments, At one time requiring a supermajority was very rare, but it became routine since the people elected President Obama going back to his first term.

Wikipedia: The filibuster remained a solely theoretical option until the late 1830s. The first Senate filibuster occurred in 1837.[3] In 1841, a defining moment came during debate on a bill to charter the Second Bank of the United States. Senator Henry Clay tried to end debate via majority vote. Senator William R. King threatened a filibuster, saying that Clay "may make his arrangements at his boarding house for the winter". Other senators sided with King, and Clay backed down.[2]

The current Republicans vowed to obstruct President Obama the moment that his hand left the bible in January, 2009. Mitch the Turtle made it very clear that he would opposed everything that President Obama was for.

We heard local high school students perform an excerpt of a suite from the Oliver Stone movie "JFK" by John Williams; we heard remembrances from Michael Moore, a local priest (head of the diocese's social services program) and a local long-term civil rights advocate and we saw two extraordinary documentaries: a short one with scenes from all around the country to a "soundtrack" of President Kennedy's inaugural address and the second one, "Letters to Jackie," a mesmerizing look at scenes from JFK's presidency (and his death) and the reading of some of the 80,000 letters that were sent to Jackie Kennedy in the two months following 11/22/63. Sarah Palin epitomizes all of the hatred and ignorance that led to the tragedy on 11/2263. It is unfortunate that we have not progressed more since then.

Oh come on, the real reason Sarah is so upset is because Ted Carnival Cruz promised to read her great Christmas book during his next filibuster.

Sarah was supposed to appear at Omaha Costco this morning, and if she was organized, she should have been there the night before. Second choice means getting up early in the morning to make a morning flight, and let's face it. Sarah (or Willow or Piper) overslept. I thought you set the alarm. I thought you left the wake up call. What's a wake up call? What time is it anyway.

When "Facebook Sarah" writes "Only a Butterball’s serotonin-induced sleepiness after dinner will lull us back in", by "Butterball" she's referring to RAM.
I'm surprised she didn't write "Sarahtonin", since everything's about "her" or, if she had the time, google "seratonin".... it's naturally produced FROM the Triptophan in Turkeys. Then she could spell it as "Tripp to phan", to honor Shailey Tripp.

Stick to what you know, Sarah. Celebrate "Thanksgiving" for what it was. The first of many boatloads of "Furriners" who came here, raped, pillaged, and stole the land from the Natives that were here, putting them on "Reservations", land that THEIR "Religion" holds sacred.
Surely you're the expert on "Slavery".and "religion" with a small "r".
She bailed on a book signing due to "weather", she's reprising the "squiggle on a piece of paper and call it a "signed book" trick.

All I can say about the Filibuster is "What took them so long?". Despite their obstruction, he's accomplished much more for the people than they ever did.

Former Gov. Sarah Palin, R-Alaska, talks to "Fox News Sunday" at 10 a.m. She will discuss MSNBC host Martin Bashir's slam against her as "America's resident dunce" and her decision to cancel an interview with NBC's "Today."

where the fuck is the outrage from the skank over what rush said today? throwing rape around like a lunatic!!!!!!
from huffpo:

"Every now and then, some lunatic in the group proposes to change the rule to allow women to be raped. But they never were able to get six votes for it. There were always the four women voting against it and they always found two guys.Well, the guy that kept proposing that women be raped finally got tired of it, and he was in the majority and he was one that [said], 'You know what? We're going to change the rule. Now all we need is five." And well, 'you can't do that.' 'Yes we are. We're the majority. We're changing the rule.' And then they vote. Can the women be raped? Well, all it would take then is half of the room. You can change the rule to say three. You can change the rule to say three people want it, it's going to happen."

Sarah Palin's Facebook posted one picture of her book signing at the Mall Of America. The picture showed the rails on the multiple floors lined with people. That means nothing. Of course people will line up at the rails for a free peek. Some were there at the mall doing shopping and some people went there to watch an accident in progress. So seeing that one picture means nothing.

I guess Sarah Palin, like the GOP members of Congress, never got far enough in reading the Constitution to notice that a majority is what is needed to pass a law, not 60 votes in the Senate or a "super majority" (whatever that is) in the House. It's a simple majority unless the vote is something really big, like an amendment to the Constitution.

Colony Middle School's last school day before Thanksgiving is November 27th. Piper has missed a full week of school. She will have the same education as her 2 dropout sisters. Education is a no no in the Palin Family. Also, there are Basketball games this week, so Piper must have quit the Team. Quitters, all of them.

Forgot about this.

Anonymous9:42 PM Reminder: Mayor of Wasilla, Sarah Palin made women who were raped pay the $300. for their rape kit. That's like being raped again. Nothing that Rush says about rape will bother her--

Think about this, small town Mayor Sarah Palin authorized to buy a new four wheel drove vehicle and spent a lot of money to redecorate her office into a whore house but yet made rape victims pay for their own rape kits.

Happy Holidays sarah

Palin's Facebook page posts pictures of the MOA book signing but doesn't show an actual line of people.... no panoramic or distant view. It is either of individuals or of gawkers.

Willow was at the book signing. So Willow is like her sister Bristol. Supposedly Willow has a shampoo job but like Bristol, she can take off any time she wants to and has a job when she returns. Nobody has work ethics in that family!

Marge Ewy > SP Facebook:

If Sarah decides to run for any office she will need ALL of us to help her!!! No couch potatoes!! Financially as well as physically-working on her behave, calling and knocking on doors!! For a president like Sarah I will do whatever I can. We can't just sit and things fall where they may or another Obama will be president!

Marge why are you talking nonsense? How many years has Sarah said she is running but refuses to throw her wig into the ring. You are just another Palin retard.
