| I have seen men virtually stumble over each other to be the first to raise "point of order" or something else. It is very difficult for me to believe they are doing this for any other reason than to score points with some in leadership that are in support of whatever the measure is. |

I am amazed that any 'political assembly' would override their parliamentarian! I have never heard of such a thing. That doesn't mean it hasn't happened.
BUT seems Sorta like taking a vote with the home-team's fans about a penalty call by a referee against their star player.
BUT anyway this is the most OPENLY divided, AND NASTY that I can remember with our Congress.

It's kind of like shooting someone who is waving a white flag. Once you do that, you have shown the other side that they cannot even peaceably surrender. So it behooves them to fight all the harder and without relenting, since that is the only option really open to them.
The same with not following parliamentary procedure. if THEY don't have to follow it, then the other side will claim that neither do they have to follow it. And so it descended into a destructive cycle that ends all collaboration. |
