I am becoming very frustrated at the tactics of many people on the other side of the aisle, the Democratic minority, in attempting to preclude the Senate from doing its business, the people's business.
People appreciate that almost any organization has to have certain rules.
In the House of Representatives, there are pretty strict sets of rules to apply. If one does not talk about things that are relevant to the pending business, someone can make an objection that this is out of order. In the Senate, the rules are much more liberal. Nevertheless, the Senate has essentially always had rules respecting germaneness and relevancy. If, for example, a Senator raised a point that a proposed amendment to an appropriations bill was not germane, the proponent would have to get a majority of Senators to agreee to keep it.
