Shorting Democracy

This may be the single biggest lie in modern American history: \”Most Republicans want a bill,\” said Sen. Richard Shelby, \”but they want a substantive bill.\” We\’ve criticized the Democrats plenty of times on the issue of financial reform, and the Dodd bill isn\’t perfect. But this wasn\’t a yea-or-nay vote about a bill. It was a vote to decide whether Senators would even be permitted to debate the bill. That difference means everything.
