There is virtually nothing new about these rules.

Nearly all of them were in effect before the arm/wing flapping BAT the lout pelousy got power.

Our best hope is they stick together as a cohesive blocking majority. i.e., everything out of the senate is DOA in the House.

I know, but my point is whenever republicans do have the power to accomplish anything, they don’t, the repeal of Obamacare is a prime example. They voted to repeal it when they knew Obama would veto. Once Trump was elected they couldn’t bring themselves to do it. It’s all a B.S. dog and pony show.
