And that's exactly what the GOP is doing. There's no way to defend sending the US into financial default. It makes no sense, unless you care more about getting on Fox News instead of being responsible. So the GOP weaponizes rules and hides behind how confusing they are instead. — PolitiTweet.org

Let's say you hold a position that is impossible to justify. Ridiculous Senate rules give you a way out! Instead of arguing your point, you can hide behind fancy sounding procedures like the filibuster to obscure your real position. See? Doublespeak. — PolitiTweet.org

We need rules of course. But reasonable ones that allow us to get things done. If the rules are allowing the minority to stop anything, maybe it's time to change the rules. Let's end the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org
