Massie Made Them Come to DC, 'But I Couldn't Make Them Work'
Excerpt:
Democrats, Republicans, and the president chewed him up for forcing House lawmakers to Washington, D.C., amid the global coronavirus pandemic, but allowing bills to be passed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi via voice vote sets a very dangerous precedent, Massie said.
"In fact, the WHIP team sent out an email and told people, 'you can stay home, we'll just pass this by a voice vote,'" Massie said. "And that's when I jumped in a car and drove to D.C., because it's not constitutional to do any legislative business without at least half of the members of Congress present.

It seems if you are trying to follow Constitutional Law your now a "nuisance" or a "grandstander". Each and every Congressman/woman takes a vow to uphold the Constitution. Our new reality. Lawlessness.

Massie is a hero. He forced every legislator TO GO ON RECORD, on their vote on this Porkulus bill that helps bankrupt this country. So much stupitity abounds thinking we can not only maintain $22T of of debt, but start increasing it rapidly
We the people, have a right to that fact of who to make accountable. If i was 20 or 30 years younger, I'd be polishing my pitchfork.

Get a freaking grip! Massie is 100 percent right on this,but he is NOT a President,and isn't facing the same pressures and responsibilities.
