I do not believe it was appropriate for Republican members of this committee to deride Democratic members as acting 'irresponsibly' or 'despicably' or 'in breach of their constitutional duties.' I know that it was not helpful. Nonetheless, I was proud of the Democratic members of this committee when we jointly sent our May 4 letter to the chairman and provided a way out of the impasse in spite of the name calling.
