The latest trick: if the conservatives thwart a leadership priority in committee, they'll just have the rules committee pass what they want, because the votes are stacked. Boehner himself has five votes (meaning his vote counts five times) and I think McCarthy has several as well.

Also, don’t forget that Boehner booted those that voted against him OFF the rules committee.

the principle that denies to government officials
an exceptional position before the law and which
subjects them to the same rules of conduct
that are commands to the citizen."
