Pelosi: Specter Defection Will Let Democrats “Get Things Done” Without Having To “Explain” Them
You gotta love Nancy Pelosi:
Sen. Arlen Specter’s decision to switch parties will make it easier for Democrats to move forward with their agenda, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Tuesday.
Specter’s switch will give Democrats 60 caucus members in the Senate (assuming Al Franken wins his legal battle in Minnesota). That is enough votes to end debate on a bill and overcome Republican filibusters.
“Very exciting, very exciting for the American people, because now we can get things done without explaining process,” Pelosi told CNN’s Candy Crowley.
Yes, Nancy, that whole “democracy” and “debate” business can get very tedious.
