Just as a matter of curiosity, what would you have the Majority Leader do about this.
Republicans Use Objections to Stall Senate Hearings - March 24, 2010
Change the damn rules - or at least threaten it.
Like the nuclear option...it would be such (another) collosal blunder to push the R side to use/change the rules to make the Dems even less relevant.
I am amused to see the left react so batshit crazy when anyone fight back.
