It's the Potemkin congress LOL!
The media will play along.
I will bet cash money that Hoyer has worked out a schedule where Rat Congressmen will be allowed to go home on a rotating schedule. Meanwhile, the Republicans, because they won't have the knowledge of when things are going to be brought up on the floor, will have to keep their members there all the time.
This will also allow democrat Congressmen to get home for PR purposes and get a head start on the next elections, while the Republicans will get challengers who say that "Republican Congressman Jones hasn't even come home to see his constituents since January!"
It is the duty of every Freeper to monitor where their congressmen are, particularly the democrats.
