Bucco,I'll give you one example. Senator Shelby of Alabama announced he would block 70 administration nominees. In the past senators have blocked individuals for a period of time but one senator blocking 70 is unheard of.He is using what is called the HOLDING TOOL. It is legal to do he's just the first to take it to this extreme. I will not go into the reasons for his actions,let me just say like all 100 of them he loves to pork barrell.
During the Bush presidency,3 of his nominations waited more than 3 months. For Obama that number is 46 and 9 more have waited twice that long.

The scary part is that some of the blocked nominees are in our national security agencies.
To me this is what I mean by allowing the majority to govern. When appointments are being held up for no reason other than to hold them up thats not the minority position.
And I haven't even got to the fillibuster stuff yet.
As for calling the repubs clowns if the shoe fits wear it. I just don't see calling Obama a king and then saying he is accomplishing nothing.Don't Kings have unlimited power? Shouldn't he be able to do anything he wants?Shouldn't he be able to get rid of Shelby and all opposition?
