The House on Monday took up legislation to increase the checks being delivered to people from $600 to $2,000, and because it didn’t go through the regular process, it had to go to the floor on a “suspension of the rules.” When the rules are suspended in the House, a bill needs a two-thirds supermajority to pass. Up until yesterday, you could barely get a supermajority in the House to name a post office. But when it came to these checks, enough Republicans, pushed by Trump and by a public demanding the relief, joined with almost every Democrat to pass it.
Irony at its best. Bernie (Democratic Socialist) Sanders, who has been accused since the day he entered Congress nearly 30 years ago as being a nagging obstacle rather than a team player, is doing more to get Democrat candidates elected to the Senate than any other Congressional office holder...and some how he’s doing it while fighting for all Americans.
