Have you noticed that some of the most effective ads for the Dems are written by the GOP?
I love when they say the quiet part out loud!

I do not think there is sufficient appreciation for how catastrophic yesterday’s decision in Slaughter is for this country. As Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent and she intoned from the bench yesterday, “today the majority reshapes our Govt.”

The extra annoying and horrid part about what you said is that, for once, they did win a lot of votes with the recent blue wave. Not that it mattered to the senators who decided they should cave (and the certain someone who told them that they should)

A failed GOP candidate's lawsuits prevented Al Franken from joining the Senate for 8 critical months after he won.
The moral of the story is that the GOP stopped playing by the rules, norms and traditions DECADES ago, and Dems apparently remain unaware of this serious circumstance.
