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.

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.

An = Without

Archon = Ruler

Anarchy = Without Rulers.

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.

You should start a thread about that.

Down-voted for stating reality?

Zero fucks given.
