In this lame duck session, Senate Republicans are grasping at every possible reason to “run out the clock” on any Democratic priority. Their brazen obstruction, however, took some victims last week when they used another filibuster to block the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010. Named after a New York City policeman who died from health complications, this legislation that provides health care to 9/11 first responders and emergency workers who suffered illnesses from working at Ground Zero.From Think Progress, where the Liberal Lion Yglesias touts obstructionism as a sign of being a serious legislator.
This is why Taibbi wouldn't be happy with a debate dominated by Yglesias and other faux center-left commentators.
