So what the hell IS it with this "non-binding resolution" crap?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

I want BILLS, damn it. I want LAWS. I want legally binding RULES AND REGULATIONS. We simply do not need any more of this wishy-washy, quaking knees, trembling hands, half-assed mouthing of desire to change at some point in the relatively near future if it won't upset George too much. ESPECIALLY AFTER winning both houses with such resounding majorities.

I WANT THESE CHANGES TO BE REAL. Is that really so much to ask for, given the shit that's going down on a daily basis? IS IT???

Say it loud and say it proud. MANDATE. Look it up. Learn it. Live it. Love it.

DO it.

NOW.

1. we don't have the votes to sustain such a strident approach

Why would a bill which is crafted in a way that it would receive a certain veto be any more effective than this bipartisan one?
