Default Conservative senators are revolting!

It's not just the Conservative backbenchers who are getting into spats with Stephen Harper, now some senators are getting in on the action too.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s office has issued a stern warning to Conservative senators who helped gut a controversial bill that would force unions to publicly disclose details of their spending.

On Wednesday, 16 Tory senators bucked the government’s wishes and joined their Liberal counterparts in approving a number of amendments to bill C-377, while another four abstained.

When was the last time the Senate strongly opposed the House of Commons and the PM?
