 Majority of House Democrat Votes Are for Nonbinding Measures
Posted By Nic Rowan On April 4, 2019 @ 4:20 pm In Politics | No Comments

The majority of votes taken by House Democrats in the past four legislative weeks have been nonbinding, according to a study conducted by Roll Call. About one in five votes have been nonbinding, meaning that these House resolutions don't pass new laws, but instead serve as large scale messaging.

House Democrats have passed nonbinding resolutions on issues such as calling for the full Mueller report, opposing President Donald Trump's ban on transgender troops in the military, opposing Trump's opposition to the Affordable Care Act, and condemning all forms of hate after repeated anti-Semitic statements from one of their own members, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.).

So this means they don't believe in the rule of law, or the Constitution but do believe in the divine right of political majorities (meaning democrat majorities, of course), and the divine right of the strongest political leader.  You know - a lot like Venezuela, China, Cuba, or Russia. :wtf:

Those nonbinding resolutions are tofu for their base. They (typically) give the appearance of doing something, are generally meaningless other than the 'virtue signalling' that will bring the disaffected and stupid back to vote for them.

For the rest of us, they are a statement of intent, a 'wish list' of policies and laws they would like to enact.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
