Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"The record". Posterity. It makes the entire thing part of the History of Government. Otherwise, it's just external reports and heresay. This paves the road for official acts like secession. Think of it like HR filing a formal disciplinary action. Until they do, the paper trail isn't there. "See? We warned you."
As I see it. I'm no politics wonk.
The French process: go to the tennis court, and politic without the king's permission.
The liberals are proud to watch their liberal democracy die as fascist break every form of "process" that they care for so much. Instead of realizing that the rules are no longer being followed and fighting back they would much rather go down with the ship and do useless things like this so that history can say "the were honorable".
They care so little about the actual material outcome (because they believe it won't actually impact them personally) that they have somehow convinced themselves that defending "the process" of a liberal democracy is better than actually trying to stop it from dying.
Your comment does a great job of explaining this. I think without you even being aware of it. You're delusional if you think they are doing this for any future "official act". There are no future acts. They are going down with their ship and will bend the knee to the fascist in time. Accepting the new "process" to defend. Because they have nothing else they believe in but "the process".
Seriously, if you think the liberals in Washington are fighting back and "planning" with stuff like this - you are not paying attention. They are playing their role to make you feel as if something is being done in resistance. Wake up.
But there are official means to do that type of stuff.
This was not that...
I don't even know if a transcript will be kept, especially since the first 12+ hours was overnight
I think this is the real explanation...
People just don't know what can be done, so they get excited for stupid meaningless shit. And don't demand for productive things instead.
Just clapping for bread and circus like it's 1788
The liberals are playing their role in making people, like the comment you replied, feel like something is being done. The liberals in Washington might actually feel like they're doing something too. But they wouldn't be in Washington in the first place if what actually needed to be done was even an idea in their heads.
They will never say what needs to be said. They will never do what needs to be done. They are not capable of it. So, they will do useless stuff like this until they bend the knee and accept the new rule of the fascist state.
