How can we get the Senate to move  more quickly? It seems somnolent. It needs a shot of anabolic steroids or something. Is there a doctor in the "house?" Bills waiting in line, bills on the floor that seem just sitting there, whatever. It's time to kick ass somehow. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have one suggestion. Pending legislation of the floor should have a separate folder. It would make it easier to find. And the headings should have deadline dates on it, or if debate is continuing past some certain point, have the term "filibuster" in it. Let's get focused.

You'd make a pretty good PPT, IMO.

We could not vote out members that are incredibly active for inactive counterparts Smiley

I know. But the difference between you and Bacon King pales in comparison to the difference between me and Friz.

Activity wise yes, but I was also an incumbent voted out by people who hadn't stopped by fantasy politics in months.  Your loss also could be blamed on running an election you knew you had no chance in.

Plus, to be voted on you would need to have been in the senate in the first place Tongue

You weren't here for that election, but I had a chance. It went to a runoff. But then they pulled out Rob and jfern.

No. If I hadn't acted like an arrogant douchebag, Rob and jfern still would have voted.

Nothing in almost two days, it seems like the Supreme Court is more active than the senate for the first time I can remember.

     Indeed. The Senate seems bizarrely anemic at this point.
