Do Nothing Congress

I’ve read a portion of this story on my video thought for the day rather than write a new script. And I thought I was tough on Congress:

“Mann and Ornstein say Congress’ Republican leadership has taken traditional abuses of power farther than ever: They bypass committees, cut off floor debate, disallow amendments, force hasty votes on major bills that few have read and sometimes keep 15-minute vote counts open for hours while they browbeat junior members into supporting their position.”

Note – This version is different from the one I read.
