We have all three chambers - in our dreams. This situation is unconscionable and I detest such dissent in our ranks. The right to vote should be sacrosanct in any any every Americans mind - Republican as well as Democrat, for as we all know, the tables can turn on a dime.

I am disgusted with the delay tactics being used by Republicans, the aspect of minority rule by Republicans, gerrymandering and the damn turncoats in our own party.

If we don’t get serious voting legislation passed, we might as well bend over and kiss our sorry asses goodbye.
