Are you arguing that turnabout is not fair play? I know Bob is always on the side of compromise, but is letting this pass a compromise or a free pass to do anything?
We have a Congressional majority that got to be one by saying no to everything, and now wants the minority to let bygones be bygones. If the Democrats lie down and agree to let this pass, they will have performed the greatest self-neutering in history. Remember, the Democrats let the eight years of Clinton investigations go and tried to work with GWB. That didn't work at all well. I don't see them doing that twice, and they stand on pretty firm ground with Trump and the current Congress. They may lose, but they have to go down fighting if they ever expect to be taken seriously again.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
