Gingrich understood the importance of party discipline, and Rayburn was the last Speaker who could control his troops. Party discipline isn’t pretty — Gingrich showed that — but in a body of 435 people, it’s critical.

Sorry, ‘party discipline’ is part of (if not THE) problem.

Party over substance, party over principle, party over the People.

I don’t know about you, but the LESS control = less illegal/unconstitutional BS coming from the halls of Congress; and I *like* that.
