And exactly what do you find so distasteful about fully empowered house members @Maj. Bill Martin ?
Nothing - if those are the Rules that apply regardless of who is controlling the chamber. That way, we would have an equal shot at gumming up the Democrats' agenda.
But the Rules aren't the same, and they won't be the next time the Dems are in charge. They'll change the Rules right back to enable their majority to run roughshod over our minority, and to ram through their leftist agenda.
So all we did was turbo-charge the leftist ratchet effect.
I'd be a bit less pessimistic if we had a 20-30 vote margin, but we don't.
