GOP leader: All House GOP members to offer amendments at Rules panel

[sabra]

Source: The Hill

Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) said Thursday that all House Republicans are planning to go to the Rules Committee in an effort to amend the healthcare reform bill.

The move could significantly delay a final vote on healthcare reform.

During an appearance on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" show, Sessions noted that members are allowed to go to the Rules panel to make the case for amendments on the House floor.

The Rules Committee is likely to reject most, if not all, GOP amendments. But the process of every House Republican member trying to make the case for various amendments, if allowed, would be time-consuming.

A lot of those GOP-ers are afraid of working nights and weekends and will disappear before 5:00 pm.

5. If allowed?

OK, let's say it's not allowed. Let's vote now.

6. Let them

C-Span will show it all.

After about the fifth or sixth one when prime time coverage (spin) comes on, let the people see them for what they really are, obstructionists.

As Chris Hayes said last nite on Ohlberman, people won't remember the process, just the results.

They have 3 days. That's the rope Pelosi gave them.

They'll hang themselves.
