Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 Quote Eli Crane, who’s a strong Jordan backer, isn’t happy with McHenry resolution. “I know what my voters want. And I know what the American people want, and it's Jim Jordan. I don't think a lot of the people in this conference actually give a shit what the American people want.” I can't say that I blame them considering that the "American people" have no goddamned idea what they want to begin with.

CitizenVectron Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 2 hours ago, Jwheel86 said: A snap election mechanism in the Constitution was a real oversight, among other things. The American constitution values inertial stability over pretty much everything else. Everything is designed to move incredibly slowly and without large changes, and everything can cancel every other part out. In fact, the whole GOP move to allow a single member to potentially oust the Speaker is 100% in line with the values of the US constitution, is so far as it mucks up functioning/fast-reacting government. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 In the latest sign of House chaos, the temporary speaker is threatening to quit WWW.NBCNEWS.COM Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., is resisting a push to get him to move legislation without an explicit vote to expand his powers. Quote In a closed-door meeting Thursday, Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., told GOP colleagues he might resign as speaker pro tempore if Republicans push him to try to move legislation on the floor without an explicit vote to expand his powers, according to multiple lawmakers in the room. “If you guys try to do that, you’ll figure out who the next person on Kevin’s list is,” McHenry told the room, three sources said, referring to former Speaker Kevin McCarthy's secret list of GOP lawmakers who would serve as temporary speaker in the event of a vacancy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan and Hannity thought they could play Trump style bully ball on this(and maybe they could have if the margin wasn't so tight) but they got the opposite reaction. As in some Reps reacted like, "I may have had to kowtow to that orange bastard for years, but I'll be damned if I am going to be the bitch for some nobody from nowhere Ohio.....".
