Speaker’s are term-limited to six years (thanks to Gingrich) so he’ll likely announce his retirement before the end of this congress.

Then how come Hastert was speaker for 8 years?

“Kinzinger reoresents much of what is wrong with IL politics.”

Along with Roskam and Kirk.

OVERTHROW HIM? What kind of language is that?

The kind of language you’d use when referring to a dictator. Which is what A Speaker of the House, specifically Boner, is.

He was granted a waiver to the rule.

Boner et al should be scared. If boner uses the nuclear option (not supporting re-election and putting in a primary challenger), the “non-conformists” could easily form their own caucus which could be the nidus for a new party.
