Preserving the Status Quo

The link
below is for those who might doubt that our politicians, both the “liberals”
and the “conservatives,” are supporters of the status quo. The conditions were
as ripe as they could be for the Democrats in the Senate to change the rules
regarding filibusters and what did the Dems do? Yes, that’s right: They bailed
on real change and “compromised” in a way that will not upset the status quo at
all. So, now the Senate, which is organizationally about as democratic as
military rule in Egypt, can continue to “fail” to act. Of course, now it should
be perfectly plain that this alleged “failure” is not failure at all. Rather,
it is a choice that the Senate has made. Why? To preserve the status quo.
