GOP Gone Wild: Unruly Republicans Silence Women Lawmakers With Screams, Shouts, And Delay Tactics

Shouts, And Delay Tactics
This morning, the House began consideration of the rule for debate of
the House health care bill. As the Democratic Women�s Caucus took to the
microphone on the House floor to offer their arguments for how the bill
would benefit women, House Republicans � led by Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) �
repeatedly talked over, screamed, and shouted objections. �I object, I
object, I object, I object, I object,� Price interjected as Rep. Lois
Capps (D-CA) tried to hold the floor.
In an effort to delay and derail the proceedings, the Republicans
continually talked over the Democratic women for half an hour. They
sought to prevent the debate by calling for unnecessary �parliamentary
inquiries� and requests for �expanding the debate� by an hour.
After being repeatedly interrupted by Republican shouts, Rep. Mary Jo
Kilroy (D-OH) observed:
Do I not have the right to be able to continue my sentence without
objections that are trying to censor my remarks here on the floor that I
have a right to make as a member of this House?
Watch a compilation:
The presiding chair of the House, Rep. John Dingell (D-MI), tried to
assuage the Republican raucous, without much success. The debate must be
conducted with �a measure of comity and grace and decency,� Dingell
urged. �There�s no advantage to be achieved by making all this fuss,� he
told the Republicans.

Thanks for the update James. I hadn't heard this. It's great to know
some in Congress have the guts to disrupt a process intent on over
stepping the bounds in the US Constitution set down by the founding
fathers of this country.
Hell, my leg is getting a tingle...

I'm not surprised you feel women are inferior in that when they wish
to violate the constitution, they shouldn't be ridiculed and
disrespected as any politician should be.
