Bipartisanship!

I think you mean deprecated, but you're right.

The constitution isn't some useless piece of paper, but it does need to be changed every once in a while. To think that things don't change over the years is absolutely insane. Have any of you guys read the bible? At one time it was perfectly acceptable to have slaves. That's just the way it was. Now when we look at a book that old we think "man wtf is wrong with these people? they have slaves, they cut their penises for no reason, they advocate genocide, they don't eat lobster"

meant depreciated, but in this context both would mean the same thing.

I will plead totally guilty to the Perknose point of "Sometimes, your apparently near-complete lack of a sense of humor hampers your posts, LL."

After all, why should I have a wondrous sense of gallows humor as I watch my own country's future get flushed down the toilet.

But then again, maybe Perknose is right, there is always something humorous to be found in a collective swirly. But then again, there is no more excitement to found in a flushing toilet compared to the excitement to be found in the fascination of paint drying?

I'm curious what your list would be of Democrats 'blindly saying no'.

Democrats don't need to blindly say no very often. Republicans tend to be very conservative, meaning they're fine with the status quo. So when the Democrats try to change the status quo, they get "no" almost automatically--but often, the Republicans aren't the ones presenting new ideas. They do try to blindly say no to things like tax cuts for the wealthy, privatization of social security, etc.
