What difference does it make? Hillary notoriously asked in the Benghazi hearings. The absolute abdication of principle and betrayal of oaths by the Republicans once more brings that question to the fore, but this time in the context of an old admission from one of Bill Clintons ideological mentors. The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers, Georgetown University professor Carroll Quigley advocated.

Heres the roll call for the House and for the Senate.
