As I just noted in the news page, the Republicans used the same type of arcane political gamesmanship to control the agenda and messaging when they had the majority. Its business as usual in D.C. and nothing has changed. As of today, one Republican Senator is blocking even debate on the confirmation of 17 nominees for high level Administration appointments in the State Department and related national security positions because he has “policy” objections to a European pipeline matter. In another House Committee, Republicans simply walk out to block a quorum w/o providing a coherent policy rationale.
