The House Will Be In Order by Malina Lobel-karimi

"The House will be in order" were the words uttered as the gavel came down and loud disorderly voices could clearly be heard. "Order" would be the last thing this particular House is doing.

Their Border Bill so far has been killed under the New Management of Kevin McCarthy, yet news is reporting that a vote is still possible. 

If I seem confused here, it's because I AM! I've never heard of a bill being killed and yet possible for a vote a few hours later.

A vote of 225-201 DID pass the House for them to proceed with a lawsuit against President Obama for his use of executive orders. Sorry, but again, I find this confusing. EVERY SINGLE president has used "executive orders." Not only that but when you have a recalcitrant, uncooperative and determined to undermine the president, what other options are there? (These are the same folks who want tort reform against senseless lawsuits). 

I'm dying of curiosity as to how far a court -any court- will allow this, the mother of all frivolous lawsuits to continue. And what is it that they want to accomplish with it if by chance it should proceed? That all his executive orders be null and void? Is there a dollar value they're suing for? Last but not least, why are WE, the taxpayers footing this bill? Why aren't WE, the taxpayers outraged and insisting that if they choose to proceed with it, let THEM (House members) PAY FOR IT? 

Yeah, it's much easier to use OPM (Other Peoples Money). 

There is one light at the end of this tunnel. Democratic fundraising is up. Every time a republican makes yet another ridiculous move, a democratic angel gains more money. 

Oh, and democratic candidates are ahead in polls but I prefer to ignore ALL polls. I don't want any of us being lulled into a false sense of security and then be blindsided come November.
