Re: The White House Needs Elizabeth Warren, Now More Than Ever

Did you miss the house rules thing?
 
“Reforms to the House Rules as part of the Contract with America were designed
to open up to public scrutiny what had become under this decades-long Democrat
majority a dangerously secretive House legislative process. The Republican
reform of the way the House did business included opening committee meetings to
the public and media, making Congress actually subject to federal law, term
limits for committee chairmen ending decades-long committee fiefdoms, truth in
budgeting, elimination of the committee proxy vote, authorization of a House
audit, specific requirements for blanket rules waivers, and **guarantees to the
then-Democrat minority party to offer amendments to pieces of legislation.**

That might have to do with their victory.  Duh.
 
**I bet we see a call for it by February.  The democrats have always counted on 
the republicans sense of playing nice.  I hope they tell them to get stuffed.
 
When have the Republicans EVER played nice?  You make this claim a lot.  But I
cannot recall a time when Republicans played nice.  Not in my lifetime.  They
have always been every bit the cut throat and craven opportunists that Democrats
can be.
