The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.

Is there a difference between a 51-49 majority and a 50-50 split with a vice president tiebreaker? I assume there is probably some advantage to having an actual majority but I can't be bothered to look it up.

The Sinemas and Manchins
they are both still there, so it's 49-49 without them. Seems about the same unless you can play them off each-other somehow.

Matters mostly for committees and procedure stuff but not party-line votes:
Quote:
--All committees were to have an equal number of Democrats and Republicans. --Committee budgets and office space were to be evenly distributed between the Democratic and Republican offices. --In the event that a committee vote was tied, the majority and minority leaders would both have the option to call for the full Senate to consider the vote. --The majority and minority leaders were required to work together to determine a legislative agenda. --Senators from both parties, rather than just the majority party, were permitted to preside over the body. --Both parties were given equal access to common areas in the Capitol complex for press conferences and meetings

Really bizarre situation. I think Paul's getting hit with that hammer regardless of what goes down, just lucky he was able to keep that guy calm so he doesn't get wailed on before the cops show up. Dispatcher 1/10.

Pelosi looks drunk, or like he thinks he's being punk'd. Whole thing is so odd and creepy.

Supposedly he didn't wake up until DePape went into his room, so maybe his house is so big he couldn't hear the windows getting broken or mayhaps he had some chemical assistance with sleeping.
It was reported at the time. I think the Capitol Police was understandably trying to explain why this was not an oversight on their part (they are detailed to protect Nancy, not Paul or their home).

I don't know nothin' bout nothin'.
A dude of Paul Pelosi's net worth probably should have private security tho.
