Reply #44: **newsflash** AP, the Repubs are ramming everything through

[Nay]

anyway. Haven't you noticed?? And as astute as long-time politicians are, didn't the Dem Congresspeople notice that the Repubs weren't playing fair from the git-go, and any promises of "parity" on committees were going to be total hogwash anyway?

And never mind that most Dem congresspeople aren't even using their "positions of parity" for anything meaningful. So why were they willing to cave for "positions of parity"? As far as I know, Sen. Byrd can, and has, stood up and berated the administration without any "position of parity," but the rest of the Dems can't even do what that honorable man is doing? Why not?

There is something else going on, and we just don't know what it is.
