@justinamash So you are against the Hastert Rule?

@zefirotorna That is an unwritten Republican Conference rule. It is within the purview of the majority leader, not the speaker. -
@justinamash You didn't answer my question. The rule is used, even if it's unwritten. -
@zefirotorna You replied to my comment about the speaker's role. The rule you're referencing has nothing to do with the speaker. -
@justinamash It matters because the Speaker and the Majority Leader are members of the same party and work together. -
@justinamash And the rule was named after Speaker Hastert, who was never Majority Leader. Do you want the GOP to stop using it? -
@zefirotorna You're asking the wrong question. It's not an appropriate rule for a speaker of the House. -
@justinamash I must conclude that you disagree with Speaker Hastert. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A15423-2004Nov26.html … - 3 more replies
