Robert Byrd: “The Senate is the proverbial saucer intended to cool the cup of coffee from the House.”

Let us clearly understand one thing. The Constitution's Framers never intended for the Senate to function like the House of Representatives.

aside from the health and safety laws, what unconventional remedies exist to deal with a rogue mining company that has a reputation for flouting the law?

I think that as long as we have respect for the institution and for the Minority to be heard, that this will bring accountability to the process.

Never, in my view, had America been led by such a dangerous head of state.
