Rules fight near as insurgents plan calendar clash
The Insurgent Republicans led by Representative Norris plan a post Christmas fight to amend the rules to curb the committee discharge calendar. Norris argues for reading titles not full texts, challenging Speaker Cannnon's ruling and aiming to block lengthy bills from delaying important measures. The dispute centers on preserving prompt discussion of key legislation and limiting how the new rules can be used to stall action.
