Gov. Shutdown?

[dposborne]

As to the thread itself:

The biggest problem I have though is this: The ACA WAS passed, legitimately (even if you don't agree with it, no rules were broken). It was upheld by the Supreme Court. Now a minority in Congress decided that the democratic process shouldn't matter.

Not that I am taking sides here (I don't really get into much politics anymore since my doctor said its actually bad for my blood pressure), but no matter how much we dislike what the "GOP" or even what the "Dems" did recently they didn't break any rules doing it... They actually used the democratic process to aid in their agendas... If you step back and look at the whole picture, the GOP "legitimately" turned down a budget bill, wrote their own and the DEMS "legitimately" turned down that bill and decided to rewrite another. And as we all know this happened several times... The reasons for why this happened are superfluous...
