I support a trigger option. [View All]

The next time they want to vote for a war I suggest a 6 year trigger before we start debate.


Want to cut taxes for the rich, lets put in an 8 year trigger to ponder it before we take action.


The next time they want to get an exemption for ethical actions for a Congressman to resign and work for a lobbyist, 12 years trigger and then we will focus on the problem.


As for expanding the federal government power into overseeing the evil practices of the health insurance industry and starting government run options for the sane people in the country, we have had a 40 year trigger and that is quite long enough.


Oh and the trial period for filibuster has run its course. The filibuster is a relatively new tool to frustrate legislation in a body that is becoming statistically less democratic every year, exaggerating the power of the rural states to 3 times it had when the constitution was begun. We should have gotten rid of it when it was used to frustrate civil rights options. Its an experiment that can now be done away with and all legislation in the Senate should be brought to a vote with the same number of votes it takes to pass the legislation - 51.
