Both sides are guilty and deserve to be tossed out of office because they are not doing what they have been charged to do; govern.

It is true that the fillibuster has been used on a record pace by the Republicans, but that still doesn't change anything from the first year, where the Democrats had the 60 votes they needed.
But at least you got it right with the last sentence.
