"Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely"



Another example of the depths of disrespect to which the House of Representatives has descended under right-wing Republican (redundant?)leadership.
From DemBloggers
Friday morning Rep. Sensenbrenner, the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee was leading a committee hearing looking into the renewal of Patriot Act.
Mr. Sensenbrenner decided that he didn't like the tone of the meeting and simply got up and left but not before he criticized the witnesses who came and gave their testimony to the committee.
After he left the microphones were switched on and off while the Democratic members of the committee continued to discuss the renewal of the Patriot Act.
