The Republicans on the committee unanimously voted against them and they will not even be considered for a floor vote."

"Boebert says she’s a NO on the rule after her amendment — offered by a Democrat — was voted down by *Republicans* on the Rules Committee," wrote Cami Mondeaux of Deseret News. "Things are getting very weird."

1. That was not on my bingo card.

Strange times...

[uncle ray]

2. what exactly are these "non-controversial" amendments?

[EYESORE 9001]

3. Sounds highly subjective to me

Even pork-belly futures can be controversial to some.

4. Probably something about banning abortion or some other kind of nonsense.

5. She said a couple of hours ago that seeing as the speaker agreed to hear her

amendments she would vote for the bill.

The amendments were one to classify millet as a specialty grain and would allow it to have different rules than wheat.

The other was supported by every Democrat in Colorado. A conduit to supply clean water to a few SE counties. The water there is too strongly irradiated for drinking. (this is all from memory so crucify me if I get it wrong). The counties are very sparsely populated some of them majority Hispanic from before the US was a country. People had to truck in drinking water. It brings drinking water to 50,000 people, not for Ag.

SE Colorado is part of the old Comancheria and looks a lot like the parts of OK and TX that it's close to, flat and dry, antelope, not many people.
