So in other words, if Pelosi scraps it, then she can add her anti-war/Defeat in Iraq amendments to just about any other critical piece of legislation, whether the amendments are “germane” to the core legislation or not. Yeah, that sounds like a real recipe for disaster. Sounds like she is really pulling the House down on top of herself...
She can offer any amendment she wants without the Motion to Recommit tool the GOP has.
The MTR is the only thing the GOP has to amend a bill substantively since any legit amendment never makes it out of a Dim-controlled committee.
