Well they can defund them, but shucks they would be blamed for shutting the government down. Better Red than Dead I guess. You are correct that Congress does have the power of the purse, but Boehner and McConnell have already surrendered that as a bargaining tool. But you can't really blame Gowdy for that.

But you can't really blame Gowdy for that. I can blame him for not publicly demanding that the GOP use the power of the purse. Remember he is not above ducking important votes.
