The Democrats are in the process of shutting down the Senate to stop the GOP from chairing Senate hearings.

They using procedural rules or a filibuster? Either way, denying the majority party committee chairmanship has to be a new low in Senate partisanship...

How can they achieve such a thing? I thought that the majority party set up the committees, and that's that.

This is the second thread I've seen regarding this, and I'm profoundly confused.
