If at Frist You Don't Succeed

Change the rules so you can:

Frist specifically threatened that if the Committee holds NSA hearings, he will fundamentally change the 30-year-old structure and operation of the Senate Intelligence Committee so as to make it like every other Committee, i.e., controlled and dominated by Republicans to advance and rubber-stamp the White House’s agenda rather than exercise meaningful and nonpartisan oversight.

Hey, it worked for DeLay... for a little while. This is a perfect example of the how the Republican party works - putting their own livelihood above democracy's and the country's.
