Waaaaah! or, the Fuzzy Math of The Politico

Look, some news source did a study that I'm having a hard time finding, but the Pelosi-led House is substantially more open than the Democratic House. It's not perfect, but it's better. What's more, the GOP has decided to use the tactic of exploiting the "motion to recommit" on practically every bill, not to amend the bill, but to flat-out kill it and put Democrats on record as voting for bad stuff or against good stuff [Democrats did this a couple of times in the previous Congress]. It's simply difficult to have any sort of reasoned debate when there are such fundamental disagreements between the two parties, the House plays by Calvinball rules. Allowing a fully-open House would just be silly.
