cAN YOU ELABORATE, PLEASE?
Are there really enough GOP with enough patriotism left to dare to buck the globalists on this?
LORD, GOD, PLEASE MAKE IT SO!
Polite procedures allow for the Speaker to manage what votes make it to the floor for a vote, mostly just to facilitate normal process (there are far more votes desired than there is time for). HOWEVER, such rules can - and are - abused at times to prevent very popular bills from being voted on. In this case, there is clearly much support to end the ban on domestic oil drilling, but the few hardcore opponents (led by Pelosi) are abusing the voting procedures to prevent the subject from being voted on.
One technique, currently at issue, is to delay a vote until a standard recess period arrives. Despite so many Congressmen wanting to vote on this bill, Pelosi arranged for a FIVE-WEEK recess to start today. Oh, gee, guess we can’t get to that drilling bill for over a month, sorry.
