I don't get it, what are you trying to say? That this should have been a predictable response to the R's loss of power?

Its just something that partisan republicans used to say recently when they controlled congress.... "tough shit, elections have consequences, we get to do whatever we want..." Its entertaining to me to see the shoe so rapidly on the other foot given the divisiveness of their rhetoric...

You're not getting it. If the Dems even threaten a filibuster the media casts them as evil horrible obstructionists. The Repukes do it on everything, and the media doesn't blink. Yes, the power is there for a reason, but the way it has been treated in the media is just offensive.

You wouldn't want a baseball umpire as a member of one team or the other, but the media is playing different standards for the two sides.
