There have been some positive aspects of this fight over the Speaker of the House.

It’s shown us who is willing to fight for rules that are more favorable for the members to fight for their constituents as opposed to just shoving bills through without any thought or discussion. We’ve seen Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) hold that banner high, as well as some of the other 20 who are fighting for that cause. That’s an important thing to fight for, to bring some sanity back to the decision-making.

Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) laid it out and it’s disturbing how little discussion and input from the individual members there are. This isn’t what the American people think is going on and he’s right.

We have had more discussion and debate over the last 3 days than I have participated in, on this floor, for the last two years.

We cannot restore a functioning legislative body under current rules and leadership.
