1. They took away other members' ability to take the vote.

His explanation that it's because they want a conference falls flat.

They did what they did within the rules, but we're going to have to make sure to undo them and be more vigilant in the future.

2. It's weird, but that doesn't sound like Sessions at all!

Where is that deep southern drawl? It doesn't even really look like him!

[AAO]

6. Your thinking about senator Jeff sessions, AL

[Snake Plissken]

9. He sounds like a man who is doing what he was told by his owners or face the consequences

of a primary battle.

The GOP has sold it's soul to the Devil and now that the districts are gerrymandered, The Devil aka Koch Brothers are pulling the strings

3. How is it legal that one Branch of Gov has this much power

this is so wrong!!

[yuiyoshida]

4. Definately something is out of wack...

Whats next? Blackmailing the President to Step Down from office or else? Making Eric Cantor supreme Ruler? At WHAT POINT, does this become criminal?

[Heather MC]

8. I notice the Republicans Are everything they claim to hate

They hate the Taliban, but behave just like them
They Hate Dictators, but desire to be one
They blame Our President for the Shut down, but they shut down the gov
They hate Gov being in their medical affairs, but want the government to regulate women's medical health
They hate wasteful Governement Spending, but Love the war on drugs.
They hate Welfare but love giving Gov $$ to rich people and companies

I could go one
but as you can see it's hard to argue with a group of people who claim to love and hate the same things equally

I have a head ache now

11. At some point this has to become

Criminal. I once read that if a Sailor jumped over the side of a US Navy Ship, and this caused the Ship to stop its mission, and go rescue the Sailor who intentionally jumped, that Sailor could be charged with OBSTRUCTING the movement of said ship. A penalty that could reduce him in rank, and throw him into the brig. Certainly a Court Martial Offense.

At WHAT POINT are House Republicans committing an actual Crime?

[Heather MC]

12. maybe at the point they piss off their Wealthy Donors

It is crazy how they open operate above the law, and the rest of us just have to suffer

There has to be a work around, I can't believe after the Civil war some now obscure law was not written to prevent this
Something people forgot

[Thinkingabout]

5. They changed the rules to prevent Democrats from bringing a clean resolution to a vote.

[AAO]

7. They are truly evil men.

[Thinkingabout]

10. And they will cry and whine if this trick was pulled on them.

[Delphinus]

14. Absolutely!

And this needs to be talked about on the M$M.

17. That dude was speaking word salad.

He basically said nothing.
It would be, charitably, called blathering.
