The Republicans want a ready-made grandstand to throw red meat provided by them by the Koch Bros. anti-climate change denier machine to the stupids, denying them that opportunity is the correct course of action.

This has nothing to do with 'silence' on the part of the administration.

So many are totally ignorant of politics here it is frightening.
