There are only 5 Republicans that can likely be counted on here to hold their ground: Gaetz, Biggs, Crane, Rosendale, Good.

I expect the Speaker to cave eventually, especially with the shutdown looming. If he caves, Ukraine will go full throttle and the border will be ignored.

We have an Insurgent Class in DC and we are seeing treason in real time.

The insurgents can use a discharge petition to bring this to a vote. A few Republicans would be needed, to sign on with Democrats, to make this happen. I feel confident that will happen and we'll see more proof of open, overt treason being conducted by the Congress.

Some info on discharge petition
But lawmakers can "discharge" legislation that's been sitting in committee if 218 members, a majority of the lower chamber, sign a petition to do so, effectively bypassing the speaker to bring a bill before the full House for a vote.

"Discharge is generally the only procedure by which Members can secure consideration of a measure without cooperation from the committee of referral, or the majority party leadership and the Committee on Rules," a Congressional Research Service report from 2023 said. "For this reason, discharge is designed to be difficult to accomplish and has rarely been used successfully."

A House rule dating back to 1931 outlines the process. Any member can file a discharge petition with the House clerk, who then makes it available in a "convenient place" for members to sign.

A waiting period of seven legislative days kicks off once the petition gains the signatures of a majority of the chamber. After that, a member who has signed the petition can notify leadership that they'll bring the discharge motion on the floor.

The speaker must then designate a time for the motion to be considered within two legislative days. If a majority approves it, the House then moves to consider the underlying measure.

Speaker Johnson could ignore the petition, but there would be chaos if he did that. That said, it's the only patriotic thing to do if they discharge this from committee. Force a motion to vacate - force Republicans to endorse treason.
