"Republicans don't need stinking rules" is their belief.

They have been disregarding rules and laws so long they've completely forgotten that the rules and laws even exist. They think they can get away with anything without consequences.

They've had their way so long with McConnell running interference for them. They are now having difficulty with the new normal, Democrats in charge.

Payback time.
