The constitution just says congress critters can't be arrested on the way to a vote. This was the reasoning many republicans used when avoiding the metal detectors.
So they instituted a fine instead.
To the extent we allow government to tax/fine us without restriction; we cannot be said to have ANY rights, only privileges which the government can charge us for at any rate it deems appropriate.
Pelosi leads the majority. A majority in the House can change the rules to their liking.
Article I, Section 5, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution:
Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behavior, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a member.
The House would get nothing done without rules, including a hybrid of Roberts Rules of Order. Congress getting nothing done might be a good thing, but there has to be structure, otherwise there's chaos.
The rules of moral human conduct are emergent. Nobody has to tell you that murder, rape or theft is wrong, and everyone has a moral right to prevent such behavior.
Since when is Pelosi above the Constitution?
Sounds like an excuse to acquiesce to the Communists. 🤷🏼♂️
Like “muh blue line” sucking the BBLMC all summer while they burned, looted, and murdered because of “muh pensions”. 🤦🏼♂️

Thanks, Pede.
Yes, it says that. But it was written when people had honor. Doesn’t apply to Pelosi, the having honor part that is,
And if they change the rules, telling us to wear dirty underwear on our heads, we should do that too?
Because that's essentially what we're doing.
I can't think of anything more asinine and degrading at this point.
House speaker.
The rules of the House are the rules of the House.
One of their rules is that House members can't insult a sitting president at a personal level. That's a pretty good rule, IMO.
The last place we need anarchy is in Congress. It's bad enough as it is.
I would say it is the first place.
Anarchy is not a lack of rules, it is a lack of rulers.

An = Without
Archon = Ruler
Anarchy = Without Rulers.

Down-voted for stating reality?
Zero fucks given.
