Speaker Nancy Pelosi is using the same partisan power tactics to jam impeachment through the House of Representatives in 2019 that she used to pass Obamacare on a straight party line vote in March 2010.
“For the first time in U.S. history, a huge piece of legislation has passed with only one party’s votes,” Jamie Weinman wrote at Macleans
“All the big initiatives of Lyndon Johnson’s Presidency, like civil rights and Medicare, passed with votes from both parties. This bill, on the other hand, received not a single Republican vote in either house,” Weinman added:
But it’s clear that one party is the conservative party and the other is a liberal party, and they are expected to vote more or less on party lines. When a member seems like he or she is going to break with the party, he or she usually falls back into line if the leadership requires it, as Bart Stupak did and as moderate Republicans usually do. . .
One reason Nancy Pelosi has emerged as the star of the Democrats is that she understands this new dynamic. She is famously partisan and disdainful of deals with the opposing party, which means that she has the same attitude as her Republican opposite numbers, and is able to get things done in the new system. So after Scott Brown, some of the more “bipartisan” types wanted the Democrats to go for a scaled-down health care bill that might attract Republican support. . . . Pelosi said no: she would take nothing less than rounding up the votes for a comprehensive bill, and she convinced President Obama to do it her way.
Eight months after she achieved that controversial 2010 legislative victory, the Democrats lost their majority in the House by a wide margin, as Republicans picked up a net gain of 63 seats in the November 2010 mid-term elections.

Watch:
On December 7th, 1941 a united America came under attack by a foreign enemy. On this day, December 7th, 2019 America is under attack again, but this time by an enemy within. There’s another difference. Today America is a bitterly divided country, by design. ‘United we stand divided we fall’ is not lost to America’s enemy today, That division they believe will ensure success where historically all of America’s past enemies have failed. Those that which seek to destroy the United States of America underestimate her at their own peril. In 1941 as the Japanese celebrated their success their Commander in Chief and also chief planner of the attack did not share their joy.
But will the corrupt Democrat seditious attack on POTUS Trump prompt the same reaction from Americans that Admiral Yamamoto did? He predicted “I fear we have awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.” I’m getting the feeling that the Democrats and their allies both foreign and domestic will get their answer come November 2020 and they are not going to like it.
All else aside. Today we should all remember this…
O Savior, whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walked upon the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage did sleep;
