Biz as Usual: Violate the Constitution & Own Rules

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBbuuuuuuuuuwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Looks like it's back to business as usual in the People's House.

After reading the Constitution and sending letters of reprimand to the President the Republican controlled House of Reps does what ...???

Has two members vote who are not officially sworn in ...

and then breaks their own "transparency" rules calling for three days notice before votes just so they could "delete" their "mistake". Republicans allowed for four minutes of debate on this particular resolution.

At least the Democrats are having fun in the minority. They're never as united as Republicans are, but most House Democrats voted against today's resolution invalidating the unconstitutional votes taken by Representatives Pete Sessions and Mike Fitzpatrick when they had not yet been sworn in as members of Congress. The resolution magically removes the votes they took while not being members, but doesn't do anything about all the other stuff they did -- like chairing the Rules Committee.

Anthony Weiner trolled the Republicans with his usual vigor, taking to the floor to point out that the resolution violated the new "transparency" rules the Republicans introduced on the very first day of the new Congress. Those rules call for three days notice before votes. Republicans allowed for four minutes of debate on this particular resolution.

I'm ready for this slapstick comedy to continue.
