Yet you seem to disapprove of a Congresswoman who calls people out on it, rather than making distressed and pious noises about it.
When Ms Greene was removed from all those committees and called all sorts of names, she discovered something; a barely used by law of the House which allows any member to call for a recorded vote on any legislation. At the time, so-called "voice votes" were all the rage. Due to Covid and any other bullshit excuse they could think of, the House found a way to by-pass the 219 member quorum requirement; they invented a proxy vote in which one member was empowered to vote in the name of x number of colleagues, so you had 15 or 20 members show up for a session
(while the rest went about their normal business of screwing either their constituents or their interns, whichever seemed best at the time). Whoever held the gavel, (usually a Democrat), would introduce the legislation, call for a voice vote and pronounce the legislation passed or failed depending on who yelled the loudest. Voice votes have NO individual records of who voted for what, so Congress critters could say yes or no to their constituents and no one could prove it differently.
Greene started calling for a recorded vote every time they pulled this shit, so at least 219 of these unhung scoundrels HAD to show up and have their vote recorded. That is one reason why she pissed off nearly as many Republicans as Democrats. Because of her, they actually had to show up for work, if you can call $180,000 for about four months working.

I admire her. She is a real fireball and will say the truth. I loved how she called out Bidens SOTU lies.
I'm having a hard time figuring out why this was an okay practice under Kevin but she files to vacate the chair for the same process under Mike Johnson?

I would like to see MTG as VP then as President for 8 years. She would not allow any countries to take advantage of the USA like Biden and even Republican RINOs would.
