The Republicans can't even follow their own rules  - aside from setting themselves up with a remarkably silly rule that will be difficult to follow anyway 
And yes, I do have a problem with Tea Party members, because they seem to ignore those parts of the Constitution they don't like. And much of the Bill of Rights.

Did the Dems always follow the rules?
