The House is supposed to have something called a “quorum” to have a vote. A quorum is defined by at least 218 congressmen. The way that Boehner decides if there is a quorum is by squinting his eyes and declaring he thinks he sees 218 people. Congressman Massie sometimes said there will only be ten congressmen present.

and yet we expect any kind of honesty from these GOPers??

Congressman Massie is a republican from Kentucky.

I’d wish he would primary McConnell in 2020 or replace him when President Cruz gives McConnell the option to either change party or step down.

Something seems really odd, or perhaps off, here.

There are 220+ Republicans in the House. A good number of them are strong Conservatives who are often championed here and in other Conservative venues. Yes, Boehner isn’t one of them :-)

But we’re to understand that there aren’t a dozen or so that are willing to organize and band together so that there’s always one covering the House floor to challenge a voice vote or unanamous consent motion and force a roll call? That Massie is the only one?

Every single congresscritter is responsible for this, since any single one can demand a recorded vote at any time. The fact that there is so much this crap that goes on tells you that they are all in on it, and it's just a big game of "let's pull crap over on the voters".

There should be no such thing as a 'voice vote'.  The fact that there is should tell you what's going on.

Great work by Congressman Massie.

Boehner is a clear and present danger to smaller government and more liberty.

He must be removed.

I hope Rep. Massie enjoyed his time in Washington. Hopefully he got a souvenir or something to remember it by.
