The hasturd rule has to flushed away for good.

[srican69]

the requirement of a majority of a majority should be made illegal ..

there will be times when that works for us and at other times it will work against us.. but on the whole it will increase the odds of compromise.

Agree?

1. How would you do that? It's not a law that they have to do it this way.

Are you proposing changing the house rules period to lessen the powers of the Speaker?

2. whatever it takes ..that stupid rule holds democracy hostage to the whims of a few

3. It's not like Harry Reid doesn't block things too.

And that sometimes seems like the power of one.

Individual Senators put in the craziest blocks also.

Lots of institutional dysfunction to be had.

4. Keep the rule until the next DEM Speaker gets to whack the Repubs with it. nt
