https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/26/us/politics/house-lawsuit-proxy-voting-coronavirus.htmlThe plaintiffs claim that the transition to proxy voting spurred by the coronavirus pandemic dilutes members votes, and by extension, their constituents collective representation.
He wants the Dems to infect and KILL each other.
When will enough people become ENRAGED and do something? I dont know either, I am afraid to go out and do almost anything.
edit
I guess I should have included the point isnt the GOP will get their way but that they would DO THIS in the first place to try and have dems INFECT EACH OTHER to get SICK!
Dont you see how even WE are becoming desensitized to their HORRIBLE MURDEROUS BEHAVIOR?

It's worth litigation, I suspect.
