Winding Up The Bureaucracy

A commenter on the Donkey’s Mouth asks a very good question regarding the possible sunsetting of the Judicial Selection Commission.

Yesterday, when the Senate refused to move the bill out of committee despite House passage, they weren’t just allowing the selection commission to sunset they were putting other things at risk as well:

Like you said last week, this is Newt Gingrich crap - pitch a fit if you don’t get your way and close down government agencies. How much money is it going to cost these agencies to go through the wind down process? Isn’t money already tight? Are Republicans really willing to shut down the Departments of Health, Safety, and Children’s Services as part of their temper tantrum? Hasn’t Children’s Services been hit by enough budget cuts without the Republicans making them waste money on a politically-motivated wind down?
