thew house does the same thing as well so that should change but not just for one side


there should be a mandated time (call it 2-3 months so they have time for all their silly commities to change it) that any bill brought to the floor in the house floor or the senate floor MUST be brought to a full vote no matter how much the majority party doesn't like or want it to be voted on. that would be better government and politicians would have to record their vote on issues instead of avoiding them.

Your argument sounds good Webster I don't have time to look these items up, so I hope your right.

What is demanding a full vote mean? I thought the Senate controlled by Harry Reid, democrat majority leader from Nevada and a Latter Day Saint, passed a bill that just a simple majority of votes now wins, but does your post mean a full vote of every senator would be required?
