After losing a string of embarrassing votes on the House floor because of procedural maneuvering, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has decided to change the current House Rules to completely shut down the floor to the minority.

The Democratic Leadership is threatening to change the current House Rules regarding the Republican right to the Motion to Recommit or the test of germaneness on the motion to recommit. This would be the first change to the germaneness rule since 1822.

Carry on ...

This should help lower public approval of Congress a few more points.

Remember how the Democrats complained (rightly so) that they were being shut out of debate?  Then when they took power they promised they wouldn't do the same thing and would be opened to the minority boss in the spirit of democracy?

There were murmurs nearly right off that it wasn't happening.  Now I guess even the notion is dispelled.
