You mean like Harry Reid, Democrats triggering the 'nuclear' option; eliminate most filibusters  and then when they were out of power; Schumer regrets the Dems triggering 'nuclear option'?

Perzackly.  Like that.

That is my thinking too.  Making it difficult to Amend the Constitution is a feature, not a bug, to keep the process from being used as a short-term fix.  The one time we did that (Prohibition) turned out to be such a grievous mistake it was undone in less than a decade and a half.

Now Prohibition is an interesting case.  Can anyone explain why a constitutional amendment was necessary to make alcohol illegal, while a simple act of Congress sufficed for opium, cocaine and marijuana?

I always thought it was because it's a lot more difficult to pry a drink out of the hand of a wealthy landowner than it was to take an opium pipe away from a Chinese immigrant?

Technically, don’t we really have this?  The stable genius thing is just an act.

We have already seen demonstrated, Trump's stability and restraint when he did not fire at Korea, even though Hawaii reported they had incoming.

Proves the fears of some were unfounded. Check for this story line in the news at 7 tonight.

The President is certainly unmasking the true insanity of our Congress.  And, it's not pretty.

Yeah - thank God for him.  Otherwise, we'd never know about stuff like the Clarence Thomas hearing, House Banking Scandal, 'pass the bill to see what's in it,' and Weinergate.    *****rollingeyes*****

"Choose a side?"  Seriously?  What are the selections, anyway?
