The House advanced on Wednesday the rules package for the Republican debt ceiling bill, which serves as the last major procedural hurdle before the bill’s planned vote for Wednesday night.
The House passed H. Res. 327, with 219 Republicans in favor and 210 Democrats against the measure. H. Res. 327 is the rules package that governs the rules by which the House could consider the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023, the GOP debt ceiling bill.

There is no such thing as a debt limit when every time the limit is reached the limit is increase. Anyone that thinks differently should not be working in government. And yes, that is a majority, if not all, Republican congressmen.
Looks like MTG and the crew voted for it.
A lot of compromise between conservative and centrist (dem) Republicans, but Senate will toss a bunch of poison pills in it and dare the Republicans to start over.
If the Senate does, let it sit.
Patriots, given that delivering the mail is one of the very few constitutionally enmerited duties that the states have actually given to the federal government to dictate an aspect of domestic policy, most federal domestic policy and spending based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues imo, consider that the drafters of the Constitution had intended for the peacetime Congress to be in lame duck mode basically 24/7.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In fact, consider that the controversial federal budget and debt are based on unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification political parties cannot reasonably justify under the Constitution's Article I, Section 8-limited powers, federal domestic spending actually based on stolen state revenues imo.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Democrats Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
Given the federal government's very limited, constitutionally enumerated powers, it should be no problem if Democratic and Republican patriots gave the boot to every lawmaker running for reelection every election year until Congress starts doing its constitutionally enumerated duties to not only guarantee each state a republican form of government, but also to protect citizens from state abridgment of constitutionally enumerated protections.
The definition of insanity is reelecting your state's beloved, Constitution-ignoring career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting different results every time.
Should warn the Senate that if they kill it, the next version will have another 10% spending reduction .... and another 10% until they get the message.
