The Democratic chairman of the House committee responsible for government oversight has indefinitely locked Republican members out of the hearing room, following a dispute over a mortgage loan controversy
[SNIP]
The move was apparently was in retaliation for Issa's efforts to subpoena records on Countrywide's so-called VIP loan program and for a video Issa's staff recorded of Democrats darting from their chambers a week ago in the face of a vote.

Be assured, what goes around comes around.
Do these elitists actually believe that the country is not paying attention to these juvenile tactics. What kind of people are these? My own children ( 9 and 11 ) know better than to ever do anything like that because the punishment would be severe. I think their punishment should be severe. 2010.
Which is why they will try to control the media.......and soon.
Did Republicans ever do this when they were in the majority? I think not.
I don't think Democrats understand either democracy, or our republican form of government. Although they may not all know it, they would be at ease with the ruling methods of fascism, nazism, and communism.
Agreed
And locked Republicans say what????
Thank you? Sorry?
This should cause a Republican uproar in order to catch the mediatic light and wake up asleep americans
“Be assured, what goes around comes around.”
By whom ... the kinder/gentler, do-nothing, reach-across-the-aisle-my friend- GOP?
When they get run out of office in 2010.
Correct me if I am wrong but doesn’t true oversight imply impartiality in fact and in appearance? How can any report issued by only a partisan group have any credibility at all? This is obviously a mechanism to perform a complete whitewash. Even if the remaining panel members are completely impartial (ha, ha, I crack myself up sometimes.), the potential for abuse is so obvious that no thinking person would approve.
“Why is it when the current crop of “Democrats” really /Socialists, promise transparency in government.... government becomes clear as mud ?

Mr. Issa, it's time to start breaking down doors to get your face on the news. Enough is enough.
Great footage for 2010 campaign commercials.
They should have taken the opportunity to secure the doors from the outside and symbolically imprisoned the RATs as they should be.
They could have had a great press conference telling the voters "We have them right where you want them...what should we do with them now?"
repubs always play nice, in 2001 didn’t the repubs have a majority in the senate and decide to give dems EQUAL committee membership?
The repubs have NO LEADERSHIP and have no guts to play HARDBALL with the dims, they would rather get along then get anything done.
I can’t name 1 decent repub in government right now, NOT ONE!!!!
King Obama and his RAT communists party machine at work.
I like your thinking.
