This delay is both unnecessary and melodramatic.

I agree and would add weak and self-important.

The best rebuke to anarchy and savagery is calm resolve.

The two of you said it best. This is like when John McCain suspended his campaign to go back to DC and deal with the financial crisis. He dropped into a distant second and never regained the lead.

I agree. If this act has the effect of shutting down the business of the congress, then it has become an effective tool of terror. We must not let this sort of thing stop the work of congress.

Of course, congress should show respect for their injuried colleage, but shutting down business isn’t the way to do it.
