(2,315 posts)For those with short memories, this all goes back to the "rule" against which House Democrats conducted their sit-in - a "rule" which says no bill can be submitted for a vote unless a majority of Republicans say so.
What does this mean for government? Well, it is pretty simple. Take the "no-fly, no-buy" bill. 85-90% of Americans want this bill but the NRA does not. So using the infamous Hastert "rule" no Republican is forced to have their opposition recorded, pulling the wool over their constituents' eyes.
So just remember... every time the Republicans invoke this "rule" and refuse to allow a vote on any bill, they are honoring their congressional hero, Dennis Hastert, the serial pedophile who tried to hush his past with over $3 MILLION payoffs to one of his victim. Dennis Hastert, the House Republican "hero" who is now serving his well-deserved jail time.
