It's about time the Republicans use the "heavy hand" given to them by the voters in this country.

It's about time the Republicans use the "heavy hand" given to them by the voters in this country.

Unfortunately, they've taken the Rodney King approach to these things...."C-c-c-c-an't we all get along?"

What heavy hand? They have a narrow majority and don't have a strong enough vote to overrun the Democrats at all.
Wish we did.

"Committee Democrats complained that the Republican majority had not given them enough time to review a substitute bill that they had received shortly before midnight Thursday."

I expect Republicans to hold to a higher standard than Democrats. If they really used this kind of tactic of giving them something with only 8 hours to review, then they are as bad as the Democrats.

I'm ok with them changing the house rules to end filibusters of judges. But if they are really railroading legislation through without allowing the minority party time to review that's just wrong.

You're absolutely right. With the republican majority in the country plus Ann Coulter's exposure of what the democractic party is about and has become, we need to slamdunk democrats as much as possible. We have decades of marxist legislation to fix. We can't worry about these classic temper tantrums the dems have, especially when they are out of power.
