David Waldman over at the Orange Satan nicely defines the frustration House members must feel living in an era:
... during which the Senate routinely sees over 100 cloture motions during a two-year Congress, plus countless holds and other related delays, not to mention being handed back the toothless and disemboweled hulks of once-ambitious legislation along with a demand that it be swallowed whole by the House, because it was the "best they could hope to get" given the 60 vote "requirement."
My only question is, Is there some sort of billboard somewhere in America keeping tally of all these cloture moves, holds and related delays? Or do we only see that when it's about the deficit?
