Somebody help me out here. I must have missed an election, or maybe even two. Aren't the Republicans in control of the Senate? Seems to me when the Dems were in control THEY called the shots and the Republicans had to like it or lump it. I am soooooooooo tired of the GOP behaving like they were still the minority party! Like my dad used to say, "tell 'em what you're gonna do, DO IT, and tell 'em what you've done!"

If the Republicans had any spinal fortitude, they would have made the Democrats pay for yesterday's stunt. The GOP should have agreed to continuing the investigation into pre-war intelligence only if the Alito hearings start by day X with a final Senate vote by day Y. For every day those deadlines are violated, the investigation would be put on hold for a month.

The political reality is that moderates are in control of the Senate, not conservatives or Republicans.

The House is certainly in the control of the Republicans, due to the differing rules for legislation.

Anyone who doesn't comprehend this in their bones has no business discussing politics until they study up.

GOP in control in name only. Too many RINO's.
