Who knew the Democrats in the US House of Representatives had this much cojones/huevos?
When the Democrats in the Senate's filibuster ended in gun control votes that went down in flames, it seemed like the issue was over, maybe at least until the next horrific mass shooting occurs...say, next Tuesday or so. I mean, the House can't filibuster, right? Right! So the beautiful bastards are holding a sit-in instead!
Damn!
THANK YOU!
And thank you Rep. John Lewis for starting it and my own Rep. Mike Doyle for being down there (literally) on the floor.
@justinamash Democrats are staging a sit-in on the House floor. They refuse to leave until our Constitution replaces due process with secret lists.

". But in 2008, Republicans opposed a motion to adjourn before scheduling a vote to allow off-shore drilling. They refused to leave and continued to bash then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for leaving town before a vote. Democrats turned off the lights and microphones and shut off C-SPAN.
As John Bresnahan of Politico wrote at the time:
Democratic aides were furious at the GOP stunt, and reporters were kicked out of the Speaker’s Lobby, the space next to the House floor where they normally interview lawmakers.
‘You’re not covering this, are you?’ complained one senior Democratic aide. Another called the Republicans ‘morons’ for staying on the floor."
LOOK OVER THERE!!!!
