Man I am reading the Congressional Research Service's report on quorum calls and I'm DYING.
For background: this is the nonpartisan research arm of the library of Congress so they never take firm stances. But the report makes SUPER explicit how effective the Senate delay tactics are.

Like there it is!
"It is annoying for people in power when the opposition stands tall on something. The Senate rules makes it a MAJOR hassle.
Therefore, the people in charge almost always choose to negotiate rather than actually push through."
The Senate rules are a MASSIVE PITA, and nearly every one of them can be weaponized by a minority faction. A stiff breeze could obstruct a bill on that side of the Hill.
What the fuck is wrong with the Democrats? These people suck so bad.
I find this hilarious because it's basically admitting that the Senate functions unconstitutionally most of the time.
Really upsetting that we have such bad leaders right now.
