I said that both parties practice it and that the Democrats took it to new heights, to which you provided the link saying my statement was false. Clearly, the 110 Congress went to an extreme in this practice, and I included the 104 Congress to show that Republicans had indeed used it, but clearly not at the same pace.
What part of my statement were you trying to disprove with your link?
If it was the since Clinton portion and you were saying it goes back to 72, ok, I didn't date it far enough back. My basic point was still valid.
