....failure act to stop the administration from illegally withholding funds we've appropriated. We refuse to be accomplices in the illegal firings. We refuse to be accomplices to the damage this administration is doing as it refuses to execute the laws we have passed.
This is the sort of answer I would love to hear. And furthermore:
Yes. The shutdown is hurting people. But this administration has abused it's power and done far, far more damage.
We seek two, incredibly simple and reasonable things.
1. To stop the Obamacare premiums from more than doubling.
2. Provisions that assert the power of Congress to ensure the administration fulfill it's oath to carry out the laws passed by Congress. Doing this is what OUR OATH to protect the constitution demands. This is a moral imperative.
Without that, we have nothing but a lawless administration.
We are in the minority. We are using the only leverage we have to accomplish these simple, moral imperatives.
The Republicans can take that leverage away tomorrow. They can use the so-called "nuclear option" and get rid of the filibuster. They can continue to allow this lawless president to violate the constitution. They can allow Obamacare premiums to double.
But it will all be on them.
We will not be their accomplishes in dismantling our constitution democracy.
