Dems finally got a big shot at change. Will they go for it or revert to the same-old, same-old? Just like the mid-term shake-up there needs to be a dem party shake-up or I fear everything will revert back to the entrenched establishment.

It should be illegal to miss a vote without a note from your doctor.
