Starting in 2003, the Republicans famously began excluding Democrats from the appropriations conference committee, the group which justifies the House and Senate versions of spending bills so that they match. They did the same with the energy bills of 2004 and 2005. They intentionally did not inform Democratic committee members about the times and locations of meetings and hearings, and happily chirped about "locking out" the Democrats.

Sometimes, the Republicans even paid off their buddies by inserting language after the bill was already passed.

In the meantime, the GOP has proven itself to be a criminal operation from top to bottom, and virtually every ill America suffers today was exacerbated by criminal Republican behavior when they ran amok during the darkest of the Bush Years. So yeah, a taste of their own medicine isn't only justifiable, it is goddamned effing necessary in order to run the criminals out and start to fix what ails America.
