[On the other hand, this is a pretty shady way of doing it. No, it's not Mugabe-esque, or Pearl Harbor-esque, and such comments are lunacy, but it is pretty sleazy. I am disappointed in the House leadership for this tactic.]
It's pretty much the same thing the Senate has done.  It only took the House a month or so longer to figure out that the Senate will not go for a win-win but is only interested in a win-lose result.  Unless I missed some overture of compromise from the Senate this entire year let alone the special session?
