According to this report, a memo so named is circulating on Capitol Hill encouraging Congress to use procedural tactics to delay a Supreme Corp vote. It notes that failing to do everything necessary to achieve this goal will be an abandonment of we the people and would likely suppress voter enthusiasm and turnout. If the Dems actually want to win they will use "every arrow in our quiver" like Pelosi promised. Senate suggestions include:
"Speaking at length; objecting to routine consent agreements; new legislative day; objecting to lifting quorum calls; motions to adjourn and recess; layover requirements; raising points of order; filing cloture; fast-track vehicles; utilizing rule 14."
There are more delaying tactics that the House and Judiciary Committee could use. This is yet another test to see if the Dem Party really has our interests at heart or if once again they will spinelessly capitulate to the Repugs. Please call or write your Senators and Representatives demanding they live up to using "every arrow in our quiver" to protect our civil rights via the Supreme Corp. And let them know that our future votes for or against them hang in the balance.
