Give it a rest. The GOP would sign this if they crafted the bill. They’re purely interested in obstruction of anything that might be seen as a Biden win for their own power and at the expense of the millions of their constituents who would benefit from the bill. Stop pretending like that 50 has any interest in bi partisanship - or the growth, health, and prosperity of the 99%. They don’t. Which is why Manchin is so critical. [/quote]

Some of you need to give it a rest.

Biden's infrastructure bill (the real infrastructure, not this social spending bill) passed 69-30.  Additionally, the Senate Committee on the Judiciary is composed of 11 D's and 11 R's.  Cloture rules say that 60% of the Judiciary committee (e.g.13 votes) to pass any judicial candidate to the full Senate for voting.  And Biden has managed to get 40 judges approved, the most number of judges in one year since Reagan.

Look at the US Senate voting record.  In 2021, there were 528 votes.  There were many votes that had more than 50 affirmatives recorded.  More than half of the first 100 (I didn't scroll through all 6 pages) recorded votes of more than 50 affirmatives.

While the Senate Republicans are regularly obstructions, saying that they are purely obstructionist is a gross over exaggeration.  They are fighting for major issues that they as a party oppose, but they are not just voting against everything proposed by the Democrats or the POTUS just as an SOP.  The media is painting the picture that the Senate Republicans refuse to cooperate on anything from the left but that just isn't the case.  Most maybe, but not everything.  [/quote]
And yet, here we are.
