Credit where credit is due. Corey Booker did, in fact, use the filibuster to block terrible trump appointments…no wait… That’s not right. It was political theatrics so he can he has the longest running filibuster instead of some old racist.
Well it’s a good thing they saved it for that or else they might have to be the opposition party.
This is what gets me. I see so much they are not doing enough but boy we really fucked ourselves in that last election. Im betting even many republicans voted assuming trump would not win. All the same there have been votes that many democrats have pissed me off with but then there have also been things where they got a lot of flak but I saw as the smart move. Like not letting the shutdown happen. Trump would be estatic to say various agencies have to be shut down because congress and not because he is ripping them apart. Those confirmations though. eff that. no votes for unless that person has a background appropriate to the job.
They have no voting power. The GOP rules all three branches, so they could sit out every vote and they would still pass.
They can use, and in fact could have used, the filibuster. That’s supposedly the reason they’ve kept the damn thing for so long.

To what end? It’s is only a delaying tactic, that’s all it can ever do.
