It is not "two wrong making a right" and the procedures are not illegal or unethical, but, IMO, simply represent the nature of the system at its best or worst to give voice to the minority party but to ensure that, in the end, the majority still rules.
Unfortunately I agree. I think it sucked when the R's did it and it sucks now that the D's are. I am still hoping for the time when they ALL represent us and work toward what is best for us instead of them and their "people." Yeh, I'm a dreamer. <shrug>
