Why did “hundreds of House members (scramble) back to Washington to ensure a quorum”? Many of the rest of us are working on our computers from home and communicating with other workers through Skype or Zoom or Go-to-Meeting. Couldn’t the House members have done that instead of spending money to fly to and from Washington for a vote?
And shame on President Donald Trump for calling Rep. Thomas Massie “a third rate grandstander” who should be thrown out of the Republican Party. Massie was trying to keep the government obeying the laws — which the president should be doing, too. And Trump has already made me leave the active Republican Party on my own.
As well, photos of members of the House show they were not practicing social distancing. This was made evident by several who were sitting or standing right next to others.
