Sure seems like it. Not sure if too many folks caught this line buried in the latest AP article about the shadow Conyers hearing this afternoon:
The Democratic congressmen were relegated to a tiny room in the bottom of the Capitol and the Republicans who run the House scheduled 11 major votes to coincide with the afternoon event.
Emphasis mine. Just a little gripe: umm, coincide ain’t the right word here. That should read “scheduled 11 major votes to use the power of the majority to bury the afternoon event.”
They are sweating, let me tell you. They know they can’t get away with this if we win too many elections in 2006. They know they are toast.
