GOP Senator on the Courts

Share of tweaking? Who's doing any tweaking these days? It's pure majoritarian politics. Congress has passed 6 bills this year, Class Action, Bankruptcy, Schiavo, and three technical things since then. Class Action and Bankruptcy were negotiated over years, agreed to by republican leadership, and pushed through without amendment. The house even agreed to vote up or down, with no amendments at all.
So, I'm not sure what you're expecting the NE Reps to do, any more than you expect anyone to do anything.

Who gave the GOP leadership that power? That's not how the Senate has always worked.
