New Senate committee breakdowns actually reflect the Democrat's wide margin in the Senate



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

To the victor go the spoils. In the U.S. Senate, the spoils include the committees:

Senate Democrats will edge their Republican counterparts by at least three votes on almost all committees under an assignment scenario laid out Tuesday night by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).

After weeks of negotiations with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Reid announced a lineup that assigns three more Democrats than Republicans to all committees except Appropriations and Armed Services, which will have four more Democrats.
Okay, now that the Democrats have increased their margins and their power in the Senate, they need to act like the party in power. McConnell will want to obstruct and delay at every opportunity. The country is in peril and this is no time for GOP games. The Democrats have to roll the Republicans. And, if the GOP wants to filibuster, make them really filibuster.
