re: Why can’t Republicans stop stepping on their Dicks?

Why?
Because the vast majority of Americans who consider themselves conservative are not generally susceptible to the Gaslight Media and their Dim propaganda download that runs 24/7/365, which results in tens of millions of Dim Drones. Most conservatives are still exercising a fair amount of free and rational thought and they have no problem disagreeing with other conservatives on a wide range of political topics.

Why?

“We all agreed to the rules months and months ago that said if a member got 218 signatures for a discharge petition that the issue would see the light of day,” he continued. “And that somebody tried to use a different rule to subvert that member’s good, hard work, to me is something I couldn’t support.”
quote:
“I was like, voting against pregnant women? Are y’all crazy?” Burchett said.
quote:
“I don’t agree with how the matter of the discharge petition was handled. It’s wrong to try to cancel a vote that is required by the rules of the House,” Kiley said in a statement.
quote:
In a statement, Lawler said his vote was as much of a protest of leadership’s hardline tactics as it was about the family issue. He slammed the “unprecedented move by leadership to undermine the rights of individual members to bring forth a discharge petition with the support of a majority of the whole House.”
“Regardless of how one feels about a discharge petition, this is a step that drastically limits the power of individual members and vests it almost entirely in leadership,” Lawler said.
quote:
Mackenzie was the only first-term Republican member to vote against the rule, and is a cosponsor of the resolution to allow proxy voting for new parents.
quote:
Miller noted that he is the father of a one-year-old girl when explaining his vote and that “in the first weeks of her life there were some complications.”
quote:
“I can not imagine a mother, who has spent 9 months going through the wringer, being told that you can’t be with your infant only because you are one of 435 people. We are the pro-life, pro-family party,” Miller said in a statement.
quote:
Van Drew, the Democrat-turned-Republican, signed Luna’s discharge petition to force a vote on proxy voting for new parents. Asked last week if he would remain in support of the effort despite leadership’s opposition, he said he was sticking with Luna.
I look at this differently. Luna did the proper channels.
Mike Johnson stepped on his own dick over this...
quote:
Luna and Pettersen have been working to pass legislation that would allow new parents to vote by proxy for 12 weeks around the birth of a new child.
Really?

Thomas Massie did use proxy voting during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, when the House implemented proxy voting as a response to the pandemic, Massie initially voted against the measure but later utilized it himself.

In this case, the "rule" would have allowed for debate and floor consideration of bills that would have limited district judges' ability to levy nationwide injunctions and would have mandated proof of citizenship to register to vote, respectively.
But was it officially on the agenda? Or is MJ just speaking out his arse saying that they can't do things that they weren't planning on doing anyway? I understand that the vote makes them bring to the full floor an item that they didn't want to bring up before moving on to anything else.

Wait 9 repubs voted with the opposition, and its leaderships fault that he wants to wait for the new Fla Congressman to get sworn in? Since his own party cants see the forest for the trees with this rule?
I remember when they only want to be able to marry. That 'only' didnt last very long. Neither will this
