Nancy Pelosi launches House filibuster to demand vote on Dreamers
by Pete Kasperowicz | Feb 7, 2018, 11:10 AM

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., launched a filibuster of sorts in the House on Wednesday, by taking the floor to talk about the need to pass legislation to protect the Dreamers.

The House was set to start debating the Mortgage Choice Act, but Pelosi took the floor and said she wanted to talk at length about immigration.

A filibuster is an action lawmakers can take in the Senate, not in the House. However, both Pelosi and House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., are both permitted to talk at length on the floor because of their leadership status. Both of them often request one minute to speak, but go on for several minutes, a privilege afforded to them because of their status.

This is one mistake on top of the other.

A)  Delaying a budget bill, defending non-citizens.
B)  Filibustering with their most incoherent speaker.

Brilliant strategies.

Let the old hag talk.

The more she talks, the more she betrays what she and the Dems are about, which is against what America wants.

I'm not certain if she knows there's a difference.

Ironic, to say the least.  Many expected that Trump would destroy the GOP from within.... but it looks like his influence is causing the rats to implode instead.

They told Nancy That the brown acid that was circulating around them wasn't too good. It was suggested that she stay away from that. Of course it was her own trip. So she took it anyway.
