OMG. Watch Hatch ask his aide for talking points when McCaskill asks "Will be any hearings on ACA?"

McCaskill asks if there will be hearings. Hatch obviously confused; his aide whispers talking points audibly in his ear! Go Claire...

Anyone who has ever met this Guy,first impressions are lasting. Came away shaking my head,this Guy is one huge Fake,and yes he is very vindictive,and a egomaniac.

Remember,this is the Guy who had his staff hack Ted Kennedy's Senate E-mail in order to find out what the Senate Democratic Caucus was planning .

don't know the importance of the proper procedures of anything-----like having hearings. With term limits you rid the place of the older people who realize what is important. We had an election and look what we got for a president----someone who purports to know EVERYTHING but is so devious we don't know what he is about. Can't tell if he's stupid or evil and in the end it doesn't seem to make any difference, the resulting chaos is the same. We have to really study candidates' RECORDS, not their promises. And if they have no record, then don't vote for them. If they've spent their lives doing NOTHING but helping themselves, it can be found out in short order. Words are meaningless without deeds. Period.

Has anything like this in the history of the U.S. ever happened? When the Democrats had such firm control of the House and the Senate ever did they ever do anything like this.

There was a time when the Democrats ruled every branch of government...I was there.

But I can't remember an abuse of partisan power like this one.

If anyone can, please reply with the story.
