The week of 1/3/2023 was an example of what democracy is supposed to look like. Kudos to Matt Gaetz, Matt Rosendale, Lauren Boebert and Eli Crane, who had the unmitigated guts to stand up for people over personalities, campaign promises, strengthening the House Rules Committee, allowing time to actually read preposterously-over-porked bills, bringing transparency to earmarks, con-sidering term limits and eliminating pay-to-play. During those few days of healthy debate over Kevin McCarthy’s election to House Speaker, Democrats made fools of themselves by eating popcorn and mocking Republicans for doing exactly what they were all sent to D.C. to do.
