First term Republican Sen. Ron Johnson from Wisconsin has just done what the Republican “leaders” of the Senate have thus far failed to do during Opuppet’s presidency: actually threaten to use the Senate rules to fight for our individual liberties and get the Senate to actually do its job:
Will Sen. Johnson actually follow through? I hope and pray he does.

Too much common sense
toothpick (Diary) Tuesday, June 28th at 5:30PM EDT (link)Is that much common sense allowed in the US Senate chamber? I’m surprised he wasn’t expelled, or at least censured.
I called his office and told them, I hope he does follow through.
earlgrey (Diary) Tuesday, June 28th at 5:45PM EDT (link)maybe we should call our own Senators and tell them the same thing.

Senator Johnson - my Senator from Wisconsin...
deevee Tuesday, June 28th at 9:48PM EDT (link)thank you for fighting for the citizens and good government.
And good politics too!
Conservative_not_Republican (Diary) Tuesday, June 28th at 10:02PM EDT (link)Can anyone explain or guess at why the Republicans in the Senate have not put the Dems feet to the fire over not producing a budget? Why does Mitch McConnell give Harry Reid a pass on not producing a budget?

paragraph 4.
“…dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people than under the zeal for a firm and efficient government.”

As for your quote
concap (Diary) Wednesday, June 29th at 12:30AM EDT (link)Given that the GOP has been compromising our liberties’ away for the last sixty years. How many years do you think we have left?
The Constitution is neither Right or Left, it is American.
You need neither be Right or Left to vote American.
When you vote on the Federal level based on politics, you are voting for a lobbyist to promote your own personal wants and force them on others through taxation and legislation.

Do it , Johnson
charm2 Tuesday, June 28th at 10:07PM EDT (link)Does anyone have any respect for congress? The predominant feeling aroused with the mere mention of them has got to be disgust. It certainly is mine. I hope Johnson kicks their butts up and down the aisles of that chamber, calling them out everyday. That would be interesting to watch.
Go Senator Johnson!
shaitra (Diary) Wednesday, June 29th at 8:49AM EDT (link)Stand tall and keep fighting! It’s great to hear someone speak out against the establishment and for all of us little people. I’m very happy you are my senator.
Republicans..Are You Ready To Lose Your Party
carolynr Wednesday, June 29th at 9:48AM EDT (link)We elected you to do the people’s business. Not yours…not Obama’s …not the Democrats…but ours. Now you want it behind closed doors and the only one wishing to stand up for the transparency is Senator Johnson. Well…this is how it goes….you either let us go down the tubes and raises taxes…and of course let us lose our SS…OR…we are Greece. BTW…if we don’t have anymore money…neither do you.
