The Rs should just finish up all the legislation they've been working on in committee, consult privately with the other Rs, and then ram it all down the dems throats in vote after vote after vote the next time the committees meet.
If the dems complain, just say, oh, well you weren't letting us meet, so we have no time to debate.
Good plan! They got the two major bills out of the way with the funding of Iraq War and Transportation bill so let the RATs put a stop to committee hearings! They are nothing but a bunch of obstructionist anyways.
In case you haven't heard .. the repubs called a committee hearing on Iran and nuclear stuff .. and the DEMS CAVED and attended the committee meeting.
Don't anybody try to tell me the repubs are not playing hardball - FINALLY.
