Ok - this is truly, completely insane. When the House closed, Republicans remained on the House floor. They chanted, booed Democrats, invited tourists (usually banned from the area) in for the spectacle... really: from the AP
As of 1 hr. ago they're still there (5:00 pm EST) from the Guardian
So, absurdity of this aside, you realize this basically is pretty disturbing - I mean, the routine move to adjourn Congress was refused by an entire party.
Congress is still in session I'm guessin', but for a one sided argument only, defeating it's entire purpose. And they're asking all Republicans in town to join them.
Since when can you just take over Congress?
I hope they cut it out.

The real problem is the fact the democrats decided it was time to go on summer vacation to begin with.
Pelosi has become a dictator in the House. She won't allow votes on important matters.
If the democrats believe they are correct, then why not allow a vote? Surely they won't lose...right?
The Republicans are standing up for the American public while Pelosi and her cronies care only about themselves. Nancy Pelosi should be impeached!
The main thing that concerns me is the fact that tourists were invited in and others in town were enjoined to join the spectacle. It sets an unsettling precident.
And that's no way to behave - regardless of how valid their point may, (or may not) be.
If the government can't handle it's own, most basic processes, what exactly is the state of the nation?
