The Palace Revolt: While most Republican (proto-fascist/socialist) members of the House of Representatives are out celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, progressive Republican Representative George W. Norris, of Nebraska, leads a coalition of 42 progressive Republicans and the entire Democratic (socialist/proto-fascist) delegation to amend the by-laws thus stripping the Speaker of the power to make committee assignments, and removing the Speaker from the Rules Committee.
