I believe that the rules allow the majority party to manipulate the schedule such that they can be “in session” while they are in fact not there. That, however, causes the majority its own set of problems if the GOP sticks around and the RATS split.
Nevertheless, this is a good move and a strategic opportunity.
I’m toward the MSM/Lefties like I am toward Iran. Let ‘em play their silly games, but make sure they pay a price for their childish ways.
