The memberships of this committee are stacked to give the majority party substantial control.有人在这个委员会的组成上搞了鬼，以使多数党取得相当多的控制权。Republicans/Democrats are the majority party in the Senate.共和党/民主党是参议院的多数党。The majority party would be unwise to deviate far from the principles it had laid before the electors.多数党如果远远背离原先向选民立下的原则，那将是不明智的。
