And can we agree that what the House is doing is, ipso facto, not bipartisan? If they wanted to take a bipartisan approach, they'd let the bill based on the (bipartisan) Commission's work come to a vote. But they won't. And this point, you're only bickering about whether they're principled wingnuts, as opposed to craven.

But why do you say this. You just agreed that there are legitimate things to quibble with in the commission's recommendations. Should each member ignore that and let it come to a vote anyway?
