Big flip flop by 16 Republicans who cosponsored a commission bill in January, then voted against a very similar commission bill yesterday huffpost.com/entry/republic…
The bills have similar commission setup, w/ an equal party split, and the same subpoena power.
“It’s a whole different situation,” Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) told me.
It's not that different!

One difference is the GOP bill woulda let 2 members of Congress serve on the commission.
Another is the GOP bill woulda given the commission 18 months to file its report, probably be LESS advantageous to Republicans than the House-passed bill, which calls for report this year.

AFTER ALL, establishing commissions in response to a disaster or policy problem is ROUTINE.
Or at least it was routine until Republicans made up phony reasons for it to be bad now.
