Almost as bad as Phantom Menace

The buildup and hype around it was off the charts and it was such a letdown

Literally all it did was set a precedent that Democrats can use when they're back in power, since the obscure rule they used to release it had never once been invoked prior to this shitshow. Much like all of the shady shit Republicans have been pulling since Trump took office, this could very well come back to bite them in the ass the next few years.

Which party effectively eliminated the filibuster again? Or do we want to talk about Executive orders?

I remember a time we needed 60 votes for a SCOTUS judge

It accuses the FBI of getting a FISA warrant illegally to spy on an American citizen. Except the warrant was obtained by the books, which would be obvious if they provided the evidence used to form these false allegations.

Was that before or after Dems totally rewrote the rules for cabinet and sub-SCOTUS nominee approval?

To go a step further, the memo alleges the evidence which would have justified the FISA warrant was supposedly obtained from the Dossier, when in reality it was started on evidence gained about Paige's possible compromise from 2013 that was revisited when he became part of the Trump campaign.

So since we're keeping track, that's 2 rule rewrites by dems, 1 by republicans.

And to be clear, I'm being generous here in not diving into executive order use under Obama's tenure, which radically changed the power structure of the executive branch

It's only 4 pages (which should tell you that it's not exactly a detailed accounting of corruption it claims to be), but basically it said that the Government used info from the Pee-tape dossier to apply for a warrant to spy on Trump people. Since the pee-tape dossier hasn't been fully verified, they're saying the warrant was obtained illegally.

But in reality the warrant was obtained before the dossier was even created, and regardless, information from a reliable source (such as the guy who compiled the dossier) is often enough to get a warrant anyways.

It's entirely stupid.

I was actually griping about setting precedent and/or changing procedure to force what you want when you can't get it democratically.
