Both parties should realize that obstruct and delay has replaced advise and consent. Forceing epic struggles between the two.I sense frustration in peoples lives everywhere concerning appointed representatives.
Let me give you an example. There is a continuing Judicail comfirmation crisis going on now. Democrats understandably are concerned about stacking the bench with right-wing ideologues. Ideological and partisan disagreements in the Senate have transformed into a "tennis" match much like when Clinton got in office. This is not fair to the people who face longggg delays in backlogged courts.
I think that we all need to be aware of the World as a smaller place and keep voting for the best person. No what title they carry. I dont think lip service is acceptable. Vote on your representatives voting record related to your convictions and beliefs. I know that the "checks and balance" system seemingly is spiraling downward but just not voting will not make anything any better.(I think I just convinced myself to stay with it anyway)
