Gun-control protest sparks chaotic scenes in US Congress

If the Republican party prevented that vote inside the constraints of laws, procedures and whatnot, there is nothing to protest about.

In fact I agree with OP : politicians should never have to protest for anything. There are procedures to follow, and in politics who is right is not supposed to be whoever whines the most spectacularly.

If for one reason or an other the Democrats think the Republicans have used unlawful methods to prevent this vote, then they should file a complaint and be done with it. Not make some kind of a circus.

Are you really saying that the law cannot be protested?

Politicians should never have to protest the Law since they make it.

I mostly agree with you.

But I see no problem with a little civil disobedience. And I don't see why politicians can't engage in some of it occasionally.
