Thread Name: BS: Supreme Court Kills Democratic Party...
Subject: RE: BS: Supreme Court Kills Democratic Party...
I said:   If the --quickly fleeting--Democratic majorities mean anything, Congress ought to be able to pass legislation to at least partly counter this decision.

Poster in question said: " Clearly they don't, or they wouldn't be having so much trouble getting their bills passed in the Senate".

Clear implication:   the Democratic majority means nothing--so legislation to at least partly counter this decision is impossible.

I pointed out that this attitude is defeatist and simplistic--and that a parallel between the health care snafu and this issue is false.

Poster went ballistic--but has not come up with any facts as to why legislation to at least partly counter this decision is impossible---except that she says so.

Unsurprising.

Now we can all await her next calm, well-reasoned posting.
