No one stopped it from happening, which means it CAN happen again. That is what this particular bout of chaos has achieved.

Unless legislation is passed to prevent this shit from EVER happening again, IT WILL. I am sure that is/was Putin's secondary goal.

How many times before this has Congress watered down any meaningful legislation to the point of it being useless, as a result of "compromise"?

We are supposed to WANT bipartisan action, using compromise to achieve advancement.

But when the other side insists on controlling women's bodies, when they insist on injecting THEIR religion into every aspect of civil/political/educational reform, when they insist that total and absolute equality is NOT the goal of our American democratic experiment, bipartisan compromise is not, and SHOULD not be acceptable.

We now have to make our politicians understand. Half ass attempts, while bargaining away the very tenets that is our core, is NOT acceptable.
