Some conservatives who often fall in line with Leadership voted against it.
Shows the power of ‘organization’: the House Freedom Caucus.
My House representative, Luke Messer (Gov. Mike Pence’s replacement), and recently appointed chairman of the House Policy committee, sent out a short 4-5 question e-mail questionnaire, that I received yesterday or the day before, asking what we/his constituents (presumably) wanted him to do.
I suspect most of the responses—if they were anything like mine—were plainly to challenge Obama’s attempts to legislate by executive order. These are very interesting developments in the House.
As I said on another thread the membership is livid with Boehner, McCarthy and Skalise for hoodwinking them over the budget legislation las fall. The leadership begged them to vote for a bill that Boehner promised they would then table and bring up a different bill.
The members agreed, voted and then Boehner
Didn:t table it but rather brought it up for passage. With Rat votes that both Boehner and the whitehouse lobbied for it passed.
Boehner. McCarthy and Skslise are all rats claiming to be “extremely Conservative”.
