75% of Americans polled wanted witnesses called in the Senate impeachment trial... do you think the Seantors should have voted based on what the people wanted? Or should they vote based on their constituency only in cases when it benefits Trump?

I think that "confession-like communications" should be kept confidential... as long as they don't involve committing a felony. Your congregant slept with their neighbor's wife? Sure, keep that confidential as they work through the process. Your congregant embezzled money, or raped someone, or murdered someone? Nope - no expectation for confidentiality. From a religious standpoint, they should be ready and willing to go to jail to remedy their actions.

Good for the Mormons for reporting it, and shame on this lady for suing them.

It is not longer the GOP, it is the Grand Old Trump Party now and if Trump isn't leading it, the GOP will quickly fade in relevance.

As a Never Trumper and someone that definitely feels like the R Party left us behind a long time ago, I couldn't agree with you more. The GOP is dead, long live the party of Trump, supporters of a mentally ill, fevered-minded, crime committing moron. What will you fools do when Trump isn't around any more... hitch your wagon to the next geriatric idiot that comes your way? Be careful about tying yourself to Trump, once he's out of the picture there won't be anyone willing to pick up that mantle.

This is so frustrating. In our system, it's EASY to funnel money to candidates... I mean REALLY EASY (yes, too easy). And this guy still finds a way to do it illegally? I don't care who the money went to, lock this dude up.

The question is: Just how many of those bills are worthy of being passed into law. One cannot go by the 'title/purpose', rather the contents of the bill and how it affects 'We The People'.

Then let's see a debate and a vote on the bills! If they're so bad, the GOP should come out and say they're bad! Instead, they just sit there gathering dust while nothing gets done, or worse, dummies lap up the "Do Nothing Democrats" argument even though it's the Senate stonewalling.

#16: Again, then let's debate and vote. If there's not a consensus, then our elected leaders should vote and show that there's not a consensus. Here's the great secret though; then We The People would have a record for how our leaders really felt about these issues, and might reward or punish them for actually having to grow a pair and vote.

I don't care in all 400 bills were voted down in the Senate (well, I do,but not for this argument). If the House passes a bill, the Senate should debate and vote on it; if it sucks it should be voted down. Period.

390 of the bills are ot re-name post-offices and streets.

What a moron, didn't even read the article.

"Ten of those 70 bills this year have been renaming federal post offices or Veterans Affairs facilities"

The Senate GOP is perfectly fine with processing and voting on those types of bills, it's the 400 substantive bills with policy and lawmaking implications that they're actively avoiding.

Isn't that sort of the whole point of our government structure?

So I've heard this argument before, and while the system is supposed to be slow and deliberate, it's not supposed to be paralyzed. The problem is that the Senate isn't voting down bills that it doesn't like, it's that they're not voting on or even debating the bills passed by the House. That is not gridlock - that's paralysis. If the Senate GOP leaders truly believed they had the ability to shut down these 400 bills, they'd vote on them. But that would then force their membership to vote on popular bills that the people actually want passed.

Maybe the race needs to stop doing things that get them involved with the penal system.

Could you elaborate on what Chasity Hunter should have done differently to avoid getting involved with the penal system?
