My stubborn ethics nearly lost me my job when I wouldn’t go along with the local VA administration’s corrupt policies. I refused, even on the veiled threat of “I have the power to destroy your career!” I would not do well in the real world of politics.

Since Nixon & Watergate & Elliot Richardson & Archibald Cox and company, it's almost never been about ethics. Democrats had better not decide to die on the hill of ethics, it'll only prove them as hypocritical as they'd have you believe the others are.

He'll have them dragged in from their death-beds if necessary. A change to the Senate rules requires a 2/3 majority for cloture, so he can't practically change the rules unilaterally during the session. A quorum in the Senate is a majority of the body, according to the Constitution (not subject to rule changes). |
