Boehner’s office cuts C-SPAN video again as House Dems protest

For the second time in recent weeks, C-SPAN’s video on Friday morning cut away from high drama in the U.S. Congress as Democrats demanded to be heard, only to see their session immediately shut down by Republicans.

In another so-called “pro forma” session, or a session of Congress staged merely as formality in order to block presidential recess appointments, the House of Representatives was gaveled in on Friday and immediately gaveled out again, even as Democrats took to the floor demanding to know where their Republican colleagues were.

This will get far more play than simply letting the speeches occur. Poor optics that will underscore how the Republicans are just a nasty bunch of hypocrites. But maybe they are getting very nervous about getting any criticism from the Democrats. This might be a symptom of a Party that's starting to panic about the way their agenda is being received by voting Americans.
