Can laws passed in the House during this period now be reviewed and be ruled unconstitutional?

Purple haze all in Pelosi’s brain, right about now.

I think little can be done at this point given the money has been spent so this ruling is mostly to set a precedent for the future.

“Given that this is for Fiscal Year 2023 we’re talking about here, the money has been spent. The congressman also notes it will be litigated further. Perhaps the largest takeaway, then, and the most optimistic of looking at it, is how “this is mostly for precedent. Roy also pointed out “proxy voting bad,” and Hendrix’s order highlighted the unconstitutionality of proxy voting at length.”

Don’t expect Queen Pelosi to trouble herself with a little thing like complying with the rules applicable to her office specifically set forth in the Constitution. The Constitution is for the little people, not her.

Now do one against Washington State, where they used Zoom calls to do government. They just cut off the Republicans ability to make a point. They would simply mute their input. MANY bills were passed, and NOBODY but a Sargeant at Arms, and a Congressman of the D persuasion within the chambers.

Good news on the ruling.

Also, kudos to Townhall for not adding “formerly known as Twitter” after “Roy’s press account on X.”

Should result in criminal charges and expulsion for all involved.

So .... is this a law?

Passed unlawfully?

And a CR coming up if I’m not mistaken ....

Will we turn the lights out this time ?

So do all the laws passed using this unconstitutional rule become null and void?

I thought not.

The DNC and deep state are doing massive damage control to remove the tools they fave themselves before Trump can use them. We will a dozen more instances of correction of law because the White Hose is turning Red.

Terrible header——this makes more sense:

Rep. Chip Roy Victorious; Judge rules Pelosi’s “Proxy Voting” Rule is Unconstitutional

“NOBODY but a Sargeant at Arms, and a Congressman of the D persuasion within the chambers.”

Why didn’t the Republicans come to the chamber with the Dems absent?
