Congressional Republicans aren’t just licking their wounds — they’re wildly lashing out. - MaddowBlog
Sen. Susan Collins, one of a handful of GOP senators working to garner support in her party for a bill to codify gay marriage, said the Democrats’ surprise embrace of a tax and climate change bill made her job much harder. “I just think the timing could not have been worse and it came totally out of the blue,” the Maine senator told HuffPost Thursday.
In other words, because Democrats are trying to advance their popular agenda in a way the GOP doesn’t like, Republicans are prepared to punish veterans and possibly reject marriage protections for American families. But there was no deal to break. No handshake agreement. No one lied. No one abandoned their word. No one ignored any rules or violated any institutional norms.
As for the idea that Democrats should’ve announced the agreement before the vote on the unrelated CHIPS and Science Act, this isn’t much of an argument, either. In effect, GOP senators are arguing, “What you should’ve done is announce the deal sooner, so we could’ve derailed an unrelated and worthwhile bill that both parties support.”
