- Speaking of the talking filibuster (though this happens a lot)... No senator is seeking recognition, and the Senate is not in a quorum call, so why is the chair not putting the question on the pending nomination?
- Re the talking filibuster: There was not even a second of debate (not even irrelevant debate) on this nomination. Was cloture *really* necessary?
- Private bills! Sadly, they were considered by UC, not through the Private Calendar.
- This would be slightly more exciting if Congress followed the parliamentary rule that rejecting a motion to concur is equivalent to disagreeing to the amendments.
- It’s that time of the week again.
- Any guesses as to how many floor amendments are made in order by the rule...?
- For the first time this Congress, the speaker has referred a Senate bill to committee. If anyone was hoping to bring this bill up using a discharge petition, you’re in luck!
- The first thing I look at in a special rule will forever be the last line of each section.
- The last time the House considered Senate amendments in the 🐄 without the help of a special rule, members really struggled with it, so much so, I guess, that one member decided to interrupt the proceedings to request an indefinite leave of absence.
