The descent of the Senate into a Hobbesian war of all against all, in which naked power is the only currency, took another large step this week. David Neiwert describes the The Hatch act that took things down yet another notch.
Update: However, not all Republicans are willing to turn their backs on the Senate's tradition of civility. Kudos to Senate Judiciary Committee members Lindsay Graham, Saxby Chambliss and Mike DeWine who signed this letter alongside of three Democrats.
