THE ONLY COVERAGE OVER 2 MINUTES THAT I CAN FIND ATM IS SHEP @ FOX. THAT'S A WASTE
SO I'LL BRING BLOW BY BLOWS FROM CHAD:
@ChadPergram
D) Hoyer came to preside over the Hse. He ruled from the chair that the language used by Pelosi did not adhere to the rules of decorum in the House.
2:16 PM - 16 Jul 2019
------
E) Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) challenged the language of Pelosi. Fox is told Collins used House Rule XXII, Clause 1(B). That rule requires that remarks on the floor “be confined to the question under debate, avoiding personality.
----
F) Hoyer ruled that, based on the precedent set on May 15, 1984, Pelosi’s language did not meet the standard set for decorum by Hse mbrs.
-----
G) The precedent Hoyer used was set in 1984 when then-future Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) called out then-Speaker Tip O’Neill over his language on the floor. The House ruled against O’Neill.
-------
H) After Hoyer made the ruling, rebuking Pelosi, Collins made a motion to strike Pelosi’s offending words from the record. That entails a roll call vote. That vote is on now.
-----
I) On the vote regarding whether Pelosi violated rules of decorum, Democrats are voting IN FAVOR OF SUPPORTING Pelosi, allowing her language to stand. The vote is still open. So far, it is a party line vote.
----
J) Said one Democratic member to Fox about Dems voting to allow Pelosi's language to stand, even though it was ruled out of order: “We’re going to defend our Speaker.”
So, the House is actually voting AGAINST Hoyer’s ruling for the chair that Pelosi broke the rules.

In the middle of this:
@NewsBreaking
BREAKING: Rep. Al Green says that he plans to introduce articles of impeachment against President Trump tonight and will force a floor vote on them in the coming days - The Hill
-----
BREAKING: House Speaker Pelosi has been barred from speaking again on the floor today after her remarks on Pres. Trump were ruled to not have been in order; the House is voting to restore her speaking privileges after a vote to strike her words from the record - NBC News
-----
The Hse has voted to allow the language of Pelosi to stand, despite it being ruled out of order from the chair. The house voted 232-190 AGAINST the request made by Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) that the words by Pelosi should be stricken from the record. Party line vote
---
Hse is now voting to allow Pelosi to “proceed in order.” Usually when someone breaks Hse rules and their language is ruled out of order, that member is barred from speaking the rest of the day. This vote would allow Pelosi to speak on the House floor for the rest of the day
------------------------
GOP GA Rep Collins: I begged my colleagues to embrace the rules & integrity of our chamber..to be an example in lowering tensions and elevating dialogue. I was compelled to demand that the House enforce the rules against Speaker Pelosi, for her deliberate attack on the president.
2:40 PM - 16 Jul 2019
----------------------------------
GOP GA Rep Collins: Democrats admitted her words violated the rules of decorum, the very rules that ensure democracy’s every voice can be heard as we carry out the people’s business. Still, every Democrat lawmaker voted against striking her words from the record.
GOP GA Rep Collins: The Hse prizes decorum because it is a symptom of and a catalyst for a healthy, confident democracy. I hope we recover that confidence..more forward with respect for the American people who sent elected officials, including the president, to represent them
Hse votes to allow Pelosi to “proceed in order” as though nothing happened, even though it was ruled earlier she broke House rules when it came to decorum. Vote was 231-190. Party line vote. Had the Hse not voted, the Hse would have barred Pelosi from speaking the rest of the day
McCarthy tells Hse that "the world is watching us." after nearly 3 hr kerfuffle over whether Pelosi's language was in order regarding the Hse's resolution condemning President Trump for "racist comments."

I want to know the thoughts of God. Everything else is just details.
