I hope they keep it down for the rest of the week or longer. The internet was so much faster today.
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.

Lawmakers are retreating from these bills faster than the French retreat from Germans.

I doubt they are going anywhere, at least the way they're currently written.
