GOP Learning Governing as Senate Minority

Eric Lotke, Alex Carter, Molly Swartz, Chris Rasmussen present BLOCK AND BLAME: The Conservative Strategy of Obstruction in the 110th Congress via The Campaign for America's Future. Per CAF the "new report shows how conservative minority rules by filibuster, preventing up or down vote on a record number of bills". Truly this is a "historic level of obstruction" and yet we're only halfway through the 11oth. I'm all for the minority party having a role in crafting legislation yet lets not forget the Rubber Stamp Congress of our recent past. With Bu$hCo and ... the GOP was simply incapable of playing fair then, certainly in the House at least. Peace ... or War!
