If those people who pretend to follow the law refuse to uphold the very law that their body created, they should be FORCED to do so.
Heaven knows - we are!
I place the blame squarely on the Dems. I know -- from some sources -- that all three Repubs were on my side. The problem was the Dems, because there are 3 Rs and 3 Ds on the Committee, and it takes ONE defection to make anything happen. Even if all three Repubs want to act, they cannot do so without at least ONE Dem. Not a single Dem acted here to enforce the law.
