Her filibuster had results. So, by the standards I posted so far, she definitely should not have been quiet.

If that were going to work, I don’t think the Cheeto would be in office to begin with.

Agreed. But, that requires changing some laws. And this lawsuit isn’t going to do that.

You don’t have to agree with me. Just watch the outcome of this. Watch how many nominations get blocked, and how many don’t change their actions at all even once they get through.

Sony outright said after that case that they’re open to working with her, but Dr. Luke has tied their hands on this. Legally, they can’t do anything because it’s not their contract. Which was basically what the judge said when dismissing the case she filed against them.

The Dems never go on full-bore attack, and the Republicans have proven repeatedly this election they’re going to brush off anything short.

No, it doesn’t. Did you pay attention to the last year at all?

I’m suggesting they either make a true protest, or shut up. Stop with the middle ground bullshit that lost them the entire government.

They could actually try to filibuster, instead of letting the Republicans make it a point to bully them into submission on that every single time. After all, we both know the Republicans would still be on their filibuster for the first nominee if tables were turned.

No, that’s how Republic is done. Democracy is done through talking and compromises.

“It needs to be said” is typically the defense of assholes. That is not a good defense for those Dems.

Far better than you do, given your use of it and responding question.

Answer: The section related to damages, particularly the part about applicable laws.

Nope. Many of these Democrats are wasting their breathe and our time on pursuing something that most people won’t even remember in six months.

They are.

Actually, I’m not compromising anything. If I’m going to pirate digital media, they wouldn’t be getting my money anyway. If I don’t care enough to buy it, then they’ve literally lost no income at all if I pirate it.

Not entirely. They’re not entirely wrong, just their solution is wrong.

The American system was specifically designed to avoid government that big. Because the Founding Fathers knew that any Republic which lasts long enough falls to tyranny. So they tried to design one where the government would never have the power to become a true tyranny. Where the people could, if necessary, slaughter…

I’d shoot them. Because it’s exactly what my local cops would tell me to do. Turns out dead bodies are less paperwork.

She’s not fighting the good fight, unfortunately. She’s fighting a desperate battle against someone who holds all the cards. Her only hope is a long-shot, and it’s likely to be years before that goes anywhere. Doctor Luke can literally starve her out of court.
