Ummm . . . The Pubbies are the majority in the House.

How then, is it possible for House Democrats to stop/block anything?

Mr. Smith’s bill earned a majority in the House, 257-158, but fell 20 votes shy of the two-thirds vote needed under expedited House rules. Only 30 Democrats voted for it — well short of the number GOP leaders had expected to join them.
