Which would be both unprecedented and a further indication that the partisanship that has calcified the House is doing the same to the Senate. Since we haven't talked this over that much in class, here's background:
- Hagel has rough outing before ex-colleagues.
- Chuck Hagel survives, now faces full Senate.
- Why Republicans are filibustering Chuck Hagel.
- Chuck Hagel blocked: Harry Reid doesn't have the votes.
- Harry Reid sets state for Chuck Hagel showdown.
We've yet to fully wade into the controversies over the filibuster, this helps remedy that.
