@zefirotorna That is an unwritten Republican Conference rule. It is within the purview of the majority leader, not the speaker.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

@justinamash You didn't answer my question. The rule is used, even if it's unwritten.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@zefirotorna You replied to my comment about the speaker's role. The rule you're referencing has nothing to do with the speaker.1 reply 1 retweet 1 like -

@justinamash It matters because the Speaker and the Majority Leader are members of the same party and work together.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@justinamash And the rule was named after Speaker Hastert, who was never Majority Leader. Do you want the GOP to stop using it?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@zefirotorna You're asking the wrong question. It's not an appropriate rule for a speaker of the House.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@zefirotorna Yes. He didn't understand his job as speaker. He conflated it with the position of majority leader.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@justinamash Both are members of the same party, so that's a technicality. It appears you don't have a problem with the Hastert Rule.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@zefirotorna No, not a technicality. They have different roles in legislative process. Thinking it's a "technicality" is why Boehner failed.
