Proxy voting is a stunt.
There’s no good reason to do it.
I would say this...if this is legal. Once you sign your proxy over to Nancy...why should I pay you to be some House Representative? You can come home...back to our district. Same for your staff....no need for them...they can go apply for other jobs, and move on.
No member of the House is supposed to be more powerful or less powerful than the next guy. That was the whole intended purpose. The Speaker job was simply to ensure chaos didn’t reign within the hall. We seem to have lost track of what people are there for.
Yes there is. It's call PRECEDENT.
Liberals love precedent because once they establish precedent they consider it an intractable rule.
That's why immigration is a tangled mess. Most laws have been supplanted by precedent.
Sure we have actual laws to control immigration but precedent has twisted those laws until they can be bypassed by claiming precedent.
That's why we have to keep going to the courts to challenge precedents and re-establish the actual rules of law.
There’s no good reason to do it.
In line with the RATs vote by mail scheme. Everything evil in this world comes from the Democrat Party. They stand for nothing except power over people. They will be the end of our country.
