FINALLY, they're having the vote on the Ethics Rules package

[Greeby]

After they defeated whiny-ass Dreier's attempts at stalling

1. They just went into another 15-minute break. Dreier's not letting it go. nt

4. I'm going to love watching C-Span now.

It wasn't very fun watching votes when we lost all of them. What a GREAT new day!

5. So this is the vote on the actual resolution then?

I wasn't sure, but I thought so because all the Dems were voting FOR it, so it couldn't have been some Repuke motion.

6. Here we go...

7. Did you notice that two different republicans voted no...

and later changed their vote to yes? It's hilarious. I guess they didn't want to be the only one voting against it. It's suicide if they don't vote for this. It's like saying we don't need ethics.

8. This is just the first part, which is mostly existing rules that are

adopted every year. They haven't gotten to the new additions for this year that have been in the news. That's why the pubbies are voting for it.

9. Oh my god. That picture on your sig line is scary!

11. Like Nixon said of Babs Bush...

"That woman sure knows how to hate".

All that hate is making her look like the emperor from Star Wars.

12. Can someone please answer this question and not think I'm an idiot?

What's the difference between what the House is doing and when a bill goes to the Senate for approval? Is there a procedural name for each one?
