I demand satisfaction Senator Schumer ...

WHAT GUMMINT Used to Do ...          Refuse to talk to or associate with, and whack with staff and cane members of the other party, Out-take from "American Experience  Dolley Madison (video)  Sorry for this clip quality.  At one point I became so excited I nearly passed out (as you can see) from the excitement of thinking "what if ...."    Yes.  I will argue that this toxic atmosphere was far better than the "comity" we now suffer.  No law passed without a fight is far preferable to the nanny state. If the Bladensburg dueling grounds were still active, a whole generation would today have no clue about the names Pat Leahy, Ted Kennedy, or Chuck Schumer. I rest my case.
