Again....
The rule weakens the Speaker, which means it weakens the ability of the majority to get things done. That's perfectly fine if it applies regardless of which side is in power.
I'm OK with that.
However, if it only applies when one side is in power, that creates a structural bias where one party has an easier time advancing its agenda than the other does in trying to reverse it.
Guess we can just wait and see how it turns out, though.
In any given year, GOP control over either house can stop anything the Democrats try to fund. That has always been in place. The problem is that there are enough Republican collaborators out there to vote along with the Democrats.
Take Planned Parenthood funding for example. In 2017, we had a GOP House, a GOP Senate, and a GOP President. And when it came time to pass and sign a budget, did Republicans use their control to block Planned Parenthood funding from that budget? No.
This shit has got to stop. And it has to stop now.
