Imagine the 112th Congress convening and when it becomes apparent that the Dems will cooperate on nothing, they call for an adjournment and simply go home to their home district.
Open shop then lock the doors and go home for further notice. Shut DC Down.
Tell the Dems when they want to talk, call me.
Or better yet, change the rules to allow the Congress to telecommute the rest of the year from their district. Away from the lobbyists and under the thumb of their constituents.
there. Fixed it for you! ;)
That worked great in 1995, didn't it? Well, for the Democrats, I mean.
