The S.F. Chronicle is reporting today about some Republicans whining already about Pelosi from San Francisco becoming Speaker of the House today.  They are whining about her plans to bypass some committees and take proposed legislation directly to the floor, where it would certainly be passed.  Some have even said they are going to ask for legislation protecting the minority party!  Hah. After all these years of riding over the Democratic party it seems that the Republicans are worried.  As they should be.  I hope Nancy Pelosi shows them some mercy, but not much!  :)

And I have to say it pissed me off to no end to hear a Republican want protections for the minority party.  And those same persons are all for letting the majority decide the fate of minorities that aren't part of the House or Senate.  I say if they won't protect minorities outside the House or Senate from the majority, then they should have no protections themselves.  Let them feel what it feels like to have the majority vote against them.
