On Wednesday, the Judiciary Committee was forced to cancel a hearing as was the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) tweeted today : "Disappointed. Rs refusing to allow hearings today. Had to cancel my oversight hearing on police training contracts in Afghanistan."

Not only do they say the Federal Government is broken, they prove it!

Right now they are just good entertainment but they are going to overplay their hand soon just like they did with Clinton.
