I just love this part of the article. In other words bills are not brought to the floor by the speaker until they decide or the speaker and the president decides they want it up for passage.

Just like all these bills that the current house has passed and Reed will not bring to the floor of the senate.

Makes me want to projectile vomit on my computer screen. Think I will go out and set the mower on shredder setting and mow the leaves in the yard. Saves baggin the mother f***ers.
