Senators Upset About Not Having To Work Afternoons

The Senate Republicans. What arcane rule that shouldn't exist did they pull out of Judd Gregg's anus this time? Well, apparently you can deny unanimous consent at the outset of a new session and stop all Senate proceedings at 2 p.m. The Republicans are doing this because they are children who govern out of pique. All sorts of Very Important meetings are now being canceled, like the one Claire McCaskill is addressing in this clip. She had to cancel her hearing on contractor oversight in Afghanistan, and you know how much progress they would've made there! [ TPM ]
