"Congratulations on destroying the United States Senate Judiciary committee," says Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) in response to Chair Dick Durbin (D-IL) dismissing calls by committee Republicans to debate two judicial nominations who were previously debated in a prior meeting and calling for a roll call vote. As the roll call vote takes place, Sen. Blackburn along with other Republicans ask to speak. The heated exchange continues throughout the roll call votes.

That non quorum debate happened
Then there was a roll call vote
Without the opportunity for Quorum debate.

If that is what happened
Then that isn’t proper imo - so imo the R’s are in the right for a change

The House is no longer set to vote Thursday on a Republican effort to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

The vote was pulled from the schedule Thursday afternoon, according to a notice from Majority Whip Tom Emmer.

It's not clear yet why leadership pulled the resolution.

Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.), who served as acting House speaker for three weeks in October while GOP lawmakers struggled to unite behind a permanent leader, will not seek reelection next year, according to a person familiar with McHenry’s plans who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a decision McHenry has not announced publicly.

McHenry, 48, was first elected to the House in 2004, and represents North Carolina’s 10th congressional district. Early in his career, McHenry developed a reputation as a hyper-partisan “attack dog-in-training,” slamming Democrats but also moderate Republicans. After nearly two decades in Congress, however, McHenry has kept a lower profile, eschewing top leadership positions and chairing the House Financial Services Committee.

That changed after the ouster of then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in early October. That move thrust McHenry into the spotlight as McCarthy’s designated speaker pro tempore, or acting speaker. McHenry presided over the chamber for three weeks — with limited powers — as the Republican conference failed multiple times to coalesce behind a permanent replacement.

In one of his first acts as temporary speaker, McHenry ordered former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Rep. Steny H. Hoyer (Md.), the former Democratic majority leader, to vacate their Capitol hideaway offices.

Also, he named his kids Reagan, Harlan, and Anniston, for the love of doG, which should be an impeachable offense.

Yes, I believe his purpose is to keep civilians from being able to dime them out as many have already by reporting several traitors to the FBI....
