1. Wish there was a synopsis.

I don't click video links without knowing what I'm clicking for.

2. It is only 3.22 mins

and Weiner is ALWAYS worth watching.

17. We have DUers with hearing challenges who've asked on many occasions for

people to post a brief summary since they can't hear the video.

3. It's good House drama.

Rep. Weiner raises a point of order as H.R. 1076, Prohibiting Federal Funding of NPR and Use of Federal Funds by Public Radio Stations to Acquire Programming, had not been posted online for 72 hours and therefore has violated the rules of the House.

4. They are debating the Bill to bar fed funds for NPR

Disgusting Blackburn just spoke, introducing a new Rep. Ellmers, from N. Car. Guess haven't voted yet. Call your Congressperson NOW.

5. Synopsis - GOP DID NOT follow their own imposed 72 hours access,,

to every bill that they will be voting on. BONER LIED once more. GOP lied once more.
The bill was available online on 0315. Today is 0317. THAT is only 48 hours.
THey cannot vote on it until tomorrow, and the House leader WILL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN!!!!

8. Only Democrats are bound by rules

...as we learned when Bush was president.

6. & my Rep - Poe just lied before congress...... nt

[The Wizard]

7. Poe is deft with a hammer

Perhaps he might consider carpentry as diplomacy is not his best asset.

[perdita9]

9. The Nays were louder than the Ayes

Man, the Republicans aren't even trying to hide their disregard for the rules anymore.

[dogday]

10. Ted Poe is a sick MF who cares nothing for people. We

that live in Texas know what kind of judge he was and his is even worse as a Congressman. No feelings, no concern for others. When his Karma hits him in the ass, he will be in trouble.

[progressoid]

11. "I gotta big hammer. I makes the rules!"

[Dookiestix]

12. Amazing,,

..watching an Oligarchy in action. Who woulda thought?

[DRex]

13. Some democracy, huh? eom.

[baldguy]

14. I'm guessing the House Parliamentarian is from Wisconsin?

[humanityisfree]

15. who the hell is the "speaker"

Does just anyone get to have that job...and is that Boehner's giant gavel they all get to use..??WTF

[humanityisfree]

16. sorry to double comment here but -

Man what incredible jackassery - What complete and total bullshit - Though I haven't done it yet I believe I'm building up to a DU rant here pretty soon - I mean this shit is just sickening - hypothetical? HYPOTHETICAL!?!? - That's how it really works in congress?!?! fucking incredible.

18. It may pass the corrupt House, but it'll never pass in the Senate. n/t
