Update 2:50pm Eastern…The Rules Committee just voted 78-14 to accept the Romney-approved deal on Rules 15(16) and 12. There is now an effort to gather enough signatures to force a floor vote on the minority report. 25 percent of committee members are needed.Apparently, the Virginia delegation was stuck on a bus and didn’t make it in time for the vote.

Thanks to Boehner's deaf ears, minority reports squashed. Floor fight squashed. Mission accomplished, party bosses. #RNCpowergrab
