In the Senate there are very few places that are so-called designated camera stakeout positions. Most are not high traffic areas.
NEW: The Sen Rules Cmte now wants us to request approval from them for EVERY on-cam interview of a Senator in the hallway we want to conduct

-
So restricting the access of TV cameras in hallways and requiring approval for every single interview is suffocating.
-
I understand people care very little for the complaints of the media, but this is restricting access to your elected officials.
-
Quick sidenote: Anyone can enter the Senate offices buildings, and the hallways are open to public (who can then take pics/shoot video)

Rules Cmte top Dem Sen Klobuchar: "This was just some arbitrary enforcement of a rule that was against common practice..."

Tightening the authoritarian noose around the press... Who could see that coming under Trump?

Anyone with eyes.

Even my visually impaired daughter could see this 1000 miles away.

Don't even need my bifocals- could see this coming during the campaign. Just didn't see the asshat winning, went to bed, woke up crying.

Do they even understand what democracy means?

They understand but reject it. We are entering an authoritarian (and perhaps fascist) age in America. Truly frightening
