When it comes to the flexing of dictatorial muscle, you cannot top the Dems. In the Repub dominated Congress Dems were allowed a last chance to amend or kill a bill during floor debate by offering a motion to recommit, or send the measure back to a committee with orders to make specified changes. Well Steny Hoyer will have no more of that
“We don’t think that’s appropriate,” Hoyer said. “We don’t think that serves the legislative process, and we’re going to address that.”
It’s a power grab, which if done with Repugs in charge would have been lambasted from every news outlet in the country. But Dems are in charge now so it will be ignored, and if not ignored, cheered on.
