Republicans Stop Sampson Hearing... And Then It Starts Again
By Paul Kiel - March 29, 2007, 2:40 PM

While Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) was talking, Senate Judiciary Chairman suddenly interrupted him to say,

"we've just recevied word that the Republicans have objected under the Senate rules to this meeting continuing. I think that's unfortunate, but I will follow the rules of the Senate... The Republicans are the ones who don't want to have the hearings, the Republicans have the right under the rules to do that.... we will stand in recess until the Senate recesses."

Whatever the disruption, apparently it was immediately reversed. Republicans are saying that it was based on a misunderstanding. Now we're back on.

7. Just a guess

Maybe one or two Republicans withdrew consent (thinking they were being clever) then others convinced them that it wasn't helping the situation and was only making them look even worse.
