    there wasn't a super majority unfortunately

    i guess you could call it a "historical mandate" but i think you are stretching with that imo

    A) There was filibuster proof majority for a (short) time, after that just a simple majority. The legislation sucked - the rollout was abysmal - too expensive, ****ty coverage. End of story.

    B) So the 2008 election was not historical? Okay, lol.

    - Highest turnout since 1908
    - Record African-American and Hispanic turnout

    Dude, google some **** or something. This is boring.

    60 votes ended in Jan 2010, and that's counting Joe Lieberman as in the tent . . . and in the context of health care, he decidedly was not.

    Interesting take on Cohen's role within the Trump organization.

    Since the Southern District is claiming the crime-fraud exemption to attorney-client privilege, I assume that at some point soon they will provide the reasons why they believe that exemption applies in this particular situation.

    That's 2009.

    And that's 60 votes.

    Not to mention the other preceding bits of formulative legislation that also went party-line.

    There were 60 reliable Democrat votes at various points in 2009 and a month into 2010.

    This shouldn't be up for debate.

    Reliable ?

    Arlen Specter switched parties to avoid being turfed out.
    And Lieberman who waffled until the last minute was actually an (I) - as was Bernie Sanders

    Interesting period
    ..................

    Also interesting reading Massachusetts politics post Ted Kennedy

    Yes, reliable.

    Bernie Sanders and Joe Lieberman (you know, the two guys who ran for Democratic President and Democratic Vice President, respectively) were reliable Democratic votes.

    Hey Hawk, it is dark at night !!!

    That might be the first time the name Joe Lieberman and reliable were used in a sentence.
    But whatever -- end of the day we have ACA which my morning reading tells me is still more popular than the Trump/Ryan Tax cuts.

    Take time to read Scott Brown's ACA story
    .....................
    and, the term is Democratic -- unless you are now a Rush Limbaugh / Joe McCarthy apologist as well ?
    I think "we" all know the answer to that

    90% of votes align with Democrats.

    But not reliable.

    Pull that wool away.

    Surprised you of all people end a sentence with "of"

    I remember a time when you would scold a poster or spend a page touting your elevated gramatic skills.
    Must be hard these past few months.
    Maybe you need a break ...
