"According to my copy of the Constitution, Congress (both houses) decides their own rules."

That's fine...now the House just needs to amend its rules to prohibit funding ANY Government Agency not specifically provided for by the U.S. Constitution, and then we'll see what Dem's can do with no money.

They can do that anytime they want. And have had the power since they were formed.

But they don't. Do they?

They don't want to stop spending. Either party.

A pox on all of them.

But I'll give your idea a hearty "AMEN!". I would pray that our Congress assembled would do something like that.

And then I look at them.

Clements had it right. Congress is America's only native criminal class.

Yep, AP reports:
“Democrats used their majority powers to push through a rule change that restricts the offering of non-relevant amendments to legislation.”

“Nothing to see here!”

Oh, I hate our media so.
