    The story I’m hearing elsewhere is he pulled the alarm to delay the vote, as Republicans are violating their “72 hours to read the bill” rule they agreed to at the start of this Congressional term.

    While I don’t condone the actions, the result was a delay, long enough for representatives to read a bill they are voting on, which is something that should always be allowed.

      I just find it hilarious that it’s a former school principal that pulled this shit. He’s probably expelled kids for doing the same.

        At the same time, he finally gets to experience the hilarity of it.

      That certainly adds interesting context.

      I previously read that the 72 page bill was given to House members initially with only about an hour before the vote to read and review it so that helps me make more sense of it than my own face value first conclusion.
