Remembering this sweet boy today, who was shot and killed by cops within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in. It was a toy gun. He was 12. 11/22/2014. Let’s say his name. 😭

Truth. The senate was created as a "House of Lords" - Originally it wasn't even directly elected by the people, only the house of reps was.
I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.
