House hard-liners, known for obstruction, learning to govern Posted: 05 May 2017 01:14 PM PDT Six weeks ago, these hard-liners stopped the bill cold. Like House Republicans generally, they're adjusting from an opposition mind-set to one of a party that holds the levers of power in Washington and has to act on its promises.
