Here’s how it works when you’re in the minority: your staff gets to “review” everything, but you and your staff have NO SAY over the final decision. You are lucky if they bother to notify you when a decision is made. Sucks to be you in the minority. You would think the Dems would remember how it was to be in the minority, in order to avoid paybacks later. But they don’t. On several issues, the Republicans attempted to make nice with the Dems in situations like this when they were in the majority. This is the thanks they get. I wonder if they will be so accommodating next time?
I'd certainly urge the GOP to give the Democrats tit for tat on this issue next chance they get. Deny them the ability to get timely propaganda out to their base.
Ok again, very publicly pull your staffers in protest.
