No proxies means no proxies. Not for pregnancy, not for vasectomies. If this inconsequential crap outrages Democrats, they are farther gone than I thought.

I’m sorry, Pelosi had the power to approve a change in the rules. Late term Pregnancy is probably, hands down, the best excuse for an absence I have ever heard.
Slippery Slope, the last argument of cowards who know they’ve got nothing. The moment someone says those words in the context of an argument, I stop listening because they clearly have got nothing to say.
Make a rule change. You can reschedule a vasectomy, not a pregnancy. The comparison is ridiculous on its face.
I that a carefully crafted rule change would turn this into a win, not an embarrassment. Why not use this situation to allow the Democratic caucus to be the (workplace) changes they seek?
I think the “slippery slope” argument is not persuasive when a clear, meaningful, distinction can be made. Tie it to proposed Federal protections that Democrats can champion for all Americans. Is there something in existing disability law to work from?
You make Beej/EG sound as malevolently omnipresent as Snowball!

Two elections cycles in which the results go from bad to catastrophic, so it is time for Pelosi to go. How long are House Dems (and Senate Dems) going to reward failure?Now is the time to give the leadership to people in their 40’s and let them learn the ropes. No sane person thinks that Pelosi or Reid are going to bring Congress back to a Democratic majority.
So, everybody got this story backwards? Duckworth supported Pelosi’s choice? Can that be a headline, please?
“Pelosi consistent on rules, despite close committee chair vote”
is more accurate than
“Pelosi is heartless, scheming”
Or did I miss something?
