""The United States Senate has been hijacked by the Democratic leadership," said Majority Leader Bill Frist. "They have no convictions, they have no principles, they have no ideas," the Republican leader said.

In a speech on the Senate floor, Reid demanded the Senate go into closed session. The public was ordered out of the chamber, the lights were dimmed, and the doors were closed. No vote is required in such circumstances."

Excuse me, but aren't the Republicans the MAJORITY?

How can one person, from the minority party force the entire Senate to go into closed session? Why didn't the Republicans come up with some procedural motions to thwart it? Who is in charge there anyway, Reid?

The same way a car bomber can disrupt a city. They aren't in charge, but they can cause destruction.

Frist is getting mealy-mouthed again.

The Republicans are so freaking stupid.
