House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) signaled Thursday that he may continue to bypass a House Republican rule that has required any legislation being voted upon to have the support of a majority of the GOP conference.
Boehner has flouted the so-called “Hastert Rule” — named for former GOP House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) — on a few pieces of key legislation so far this year, which hasn’t sat well with some conservatives.
He said at a news conference Thursday that he will continue to try and follow it in spirit, but also suggested he might well violate it for upcoming votes on guns, immigration and the budget.

This is how Anti-Bill-Of-Rights gun restrictions will pass the House.
With 100% of Democrats and just enough RINOs, as approved by Boner.
There, fixed it.
Well, because he’s the lesser of two evils. Haven’t you gotten that point from all the lectures on FR?
We’re foolish to expect better, don’t ya know.
I don’t think they have anything on him or anyone else in the stinking GOP.
It’s pretty clear to me that they are doing exactly what they want to do.
The Democrats don't need to have anything on Bonehead. They are all on the same side.
We will need to melt their phone lines etc, if they fail us, we stay home for good next time fluk-um let it collapse.
Tammy Faye is preparing to capitulate as usual. They should have gotten rid of his sorry RINO azz in January.
John Boehner. Making Bob Michel look like the poster boy of profiles in courage in comparison.
75 % of both parties are flat out corrupt. Criminally insane psychopaths. Might explain how the world experienced two world wars within the first 50 years of last century. Will we repeat this century ?
