House Republicans To File Lawsuit Against Nancy Pelosi For Proxy Voting Plan
|
[DAILYWIRE] Multiple news outlets are reporting that House Republicans plan to file a lawsuit in federal court against Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
 Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
(D-CA) over a recent pandemic-related rule change that allows a single member of Congress to serve as a proxy vote for up to 10 other members of Congress.
According to The Wall Street Journal, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy
...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's...
(R-CA) will lead the lawsuit and be joined by nearly two dozen other politicians, including GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA).
The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
reports the lawsuit will argue that the rule change, while temporary, will fundamentally transform the nature of the legislature as envisioned by the Founding Fathers. According to Roll Call, Pelosi can extend the 45-day proxy voting period, or shorten it, based on public health information provided by the Sergeant-at-Arms.
After publication, McCarthy posted a statement on Twitter acknowledging the lawsuit and blasting Pelosi’s "voting scheme" as empowering 20 representatives "to control the votes of 220."
