House Vote machine display is broken - Rethugs hysterical
The vote machine is evidently working but the display is broken. The rethugs are throwing a fit asking for a roll call vote. The chair says no. Wow, the rethugs seem to care a whole lot more when they feel their vote is being disenfranchised, don't they.

3. In all fairness
I don't know why a roll call vote wouldn't be a better idea. This whole vote, Session and Dreier have badgered the piss out of the cahir with parliamentary inquiries. He should have just done the roll call vote. I think both sides are trying very hard to piss the other side off today.

6. Yea, I heard all those "Point of Order" questions!
Does the Chair have the authority????

You have several options? What ARE those options!!!

I'm guessing they're all afraid of the inevitable phone call from the WH demanding to know HOW THEY SCREWED UP LAST NIGHT!

8. Things died down for a minute
Now Dreier and Session are back to badgering the chair. The Dems should have been smart enough to let the pukes have their roll call vote. This is getting ridiculous.
