It has been par for the course for the 111th Congress to have Republicans circle the wagons in an attempt to delay and, or kill legislation to prevent Democratic Victories.  In fact, recently the GOP have been publicly embracing the moniker given to them as the 'Party of No', simply because it has been so effective.

Last night tensions in the House reached a boiling point when Representative Anthony Weiner went off during a heated debate on a $7.6 billion dollar bill for health-care assistance to those rescue workers sickened in the aftermath of the 9//11 terrorist attack.  Democrats decided that it would be better to forgo an amendment process because they suspected that the GOP would offer unrelated partisan amendments to force compromising votes for Democrats.  Because of that, the bill needed a full two thirds of the House to pass instead of a simple majority where it failed. 

The bill garnered only 12 Republican votes and Rep. Peter King (R-NY) said that he would have voted for the bill had the procedure been different, which prompted Rep. Weiner to directly challenge the absurdity of Rep. Kings remarks.

Honestly, it's great to watch.
