Republicans Shut Down Senate Judiciary Meeting
As Republican Sen. Grassley of Iowa was questioning former chief of staff to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy had to abruptly cancel the hearing.
It seems the Senate has a rule that while in session, members can shut down any hearing. And because the Republicans could, they did. GOPers demanded the hearing be adjourned!
