Rick, Jim Demint is one member of the Senate. There are 99 others. That makes a total of 100. Out of that 100 59 are Democrat and 41 are Republican. So if Demint was powerful enough to get all 40 other Republicans to vote his way they would still lose 59 to 41. Demint is also considered one of the most conservative Senators. Republicans do not automatically side with him. But again even if they all did 59 to 41.

There is no way one person in the minority could do what you are suggesting. Its a numbers game and the numbers don't add up. If what you say is happening, it could not happen without Democratic support. Otherwise again 59-41.

Which part of this do you not get?

You cannot blame the GOP with a Democratic President and majorities in both Houses. By the way the House of Representatives is 253 Democrats to 178 Republicans.

Jim Demint OUTRAGE!!! Rick you are obsessed with Supena powers but haven't expressed why. This is a political ploy Rick. They knew R's didn't want to waste time on a hearing that wasn't going to actually accomplish anything but provide a platform for pre-election grandstanding. The Dem's get to claim outrage and grandstand (albeit a shorter period than a hearing would provide).

senator demint objected to the request for subpeona power and that is all it took to stop it.

Sen. Jim DeMint, of South Carolina, the new Republican kingpin and enforcer on Capitol Hill. DeMint told Bloomberg Businessweek last week that his goal for the next Senate is "complete gridlock." As far as DeMint is concerned, there's no place for bipartisan compromise or consensus or some "watered-down Republican philosophy," as he put it. For DeMint, this is war. The only acceptable outcome is total victory, and any Republican who dares to disagree will be treated as a traitor during the next election cycle.

ties off, jackets off. backward march

I mean, it is not Democrats have ever allowed themselves to be restrained by rules in the past. The can simply ignore DeMint's objection, and just go ahead despite it. The steal elections, get dead people to vote form them, partner with ACORN to promote voter fraud, deem sweeping bills as "passed," and so on. Ignoring DeMint would be no more than a drop of water in an ocean of corruption.

Once more, Rick: rules have never bothered Democrats before, nor has breaking said rules. So I fail to see how this is a Republican's fault.

Just remember Rick, you're the guy who votes for the scumbags every time - the rest of us ain't that dumb.
