Man this incident proves the media is liberal. When the GOP threatens to filibuster its considered shutting down the senate and undemocratic but when the dems shut down the house its not considered undemocratic or shutting down the house lol
Do you not see a difference between literally shutting down the government for two weeks and occupying an empty building after the House has already gone to recess?
I'd rather the government be shut down, personally. The sequester that came out of that was a good thing for (temporarily) slowing down the explosion of the national debt.
With that said, I don't care what these liberals do on the House floor. They are in the minority and have no right to a floor vote, just like when the shoe was on the other foot and the Republicans were in the minority. This is just your typical Kabuki theater crap that goes on in that chamber all the time. (And I say that in a non-partisan way. Both parties are guilty of this kind of ridiculous grandstanding.)
Very few chitts will be given by the American voter on this stunt at the end of the day.
