The Republicans put better rules in place. The Democrats are eliminating them.
Get it?
"Permanent majority?" Yes, I'm sure the Democrats have every intention of turning the government back over to the Republicans when they think they've had a long enough run. Give me a break.
After decades of Democrat control of the House of Representatives, gross abuses to the legislative process and several high-profile scandals contributed to an overwhelming Republican House Congressional landslide victory in 1994. Reforms to the House Rules as part of the Contract with America were designed to open up to public scrutiny what had become under this decades-long Democrat majority a dangerously secretive House legislative process. The Republican reform of the way the House did business included opening committee meetings to the public and media, making Congress actually subject to federal law, term limits for committee chairmen ending decades-long committee fiefdoms, truth in budgeting, elimination of the committee proxy vote, authorization of a House audit, specific requirements for blanket rules waivers, and guarantees to the then-Democrat minority party to offer amendments to pieces of legislation.
Pelosi’s proposed repeal of decades-long House accountability reforms exposes a tyrannical Democrat leadership poised to assemble legislation in secret, then goose-step it through Congress by the elimination of debate and amendment procedures as part of America’s governing legislative process.
Anybody with perception would see that your party is doing exactly what you're supposedly against. Is lack of perception the problem? Or do you have the perception, but are just fine with grabbing power if it's the right party? It's the hypocrisy, not the principles. You're perfectly happy with the destruction of the opposition and total control when it's your gang.
