guys ended up winning are enforceable and you can hold onto them for the next two years? just a few moments ago we passed the rules for congress and that placing enforcement mechanism of the one member motion to vacate, i don t anticipate we will ever have to use that, but it gives us the opportunity to make sure that our goals around policy, procedure, and personnel are met. we will have votes on term limits, balanced budgets, internal enforcement of the immigration laws, none of those things would ve happened if we had caved on monday, but by getting these concessions and coming to a stronger place, the house is in a stronger position. laura: here is how the democrats are responding to the rules package just passed moments ago. these rules are not a serious attempt at governing, they are ransom note to america from the extreme right. still empowering extremists, don t take my word for it, they are giving the single-member a way to remove the speaker at one time, with a small ri
