Dems protest proposed GOP fine for photos on the House floor, with photos
Roll Call @rollcall 12s13 seconds agoDems protest proposed GOP fine for photos on the House floor, with photos http://bit.ly/2iakS5x
(not actually a consequential protest, yet: 'Since lawmakers had not yet adopted the new package, members could not be fined for their actions.' Still, good to see their resistance being reported.)
___ Rep. Jackie Speier of California tweeted a photo of mostly empty chairs on the Republican side of the aisle, saying, “@HouseGOP in disarray not on the floor for quorum call!” At the time she took the photo, House Republicans were meeting in the basement of the Capitol, voting to strip an unpopular change to the Office of Congressional Ethics from the rules package.
