Chris Matthews is upset. With good reason too. At the beginning of this year it looked like the Obama Administration's agenda would run wild and the Republicans were in no position to stop it.
Thanks to going so far left on guns, he's about to suffer his second straight political defeat (if things continue in the Senate as they appear today). His whole agenda could start to unravel and the Republican Senators are finally starting to get a bit of common sense...they're going to regular order.
No more backroom deals. No bargains and then shoving it down the Senate's throat. The Senate working the way it was intended as the cooling saucer for America's passions.
What should worry them even more is that if regular order is assumed then they will be lucky to finish immigration reform this year and that battle will be so bloody that Congress won't have the stomach for many more battles. And that will effectively run out the clock to the beginning of the 2014 elections.
He thought he was bullet proof and went after the second holy grail for Democrats..he went after gun control and wrecked his chance at a legacy.
