Whether there was some negotiation where Pelosi considered letting him out of the corner, I couldn't tell you. But the actual decision made was to shut Jefferson out unless the FBI clears him. So I don't think that you really have a reasonable point there.<BR/><BR/>With regard to how the GOP minority gets treated, it is head and shoulders about the way that the Democrats were as a minority. When we took the House we announced that we were going to wait a few weeks before fixing the rules so that the GOP could get a taste of their own medicine while we pushed through the bills that we felt we had a mandate on. We held to that promise and have since restored more ethical minority rights rules.<BR/><BR/>You're talking about what happened in January. Tell me about what those rules are like now? Did the Democrats change the rules to grant you more power or did we not? You know that the answer is that we did.<BR/><BR/>I dare you to have the courage to actually respond to this comment rather than delete it. I dare you to show some backbone. If I'm wrong, say why and be specific. Tell me what these unreasonable restrictions are that the Democrats have made against the minority in Congress.Jackson Landershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368018552612429703noreply@blogger.com
