For all the fuss our counterpart Roy Temple at FiredUP! has made over the alleged investigations into alleged corruption in Jefferson City, we wonder how he missed this report from the St. Louis Post-dispatch:

Every Republican voted against weakening the reform rules passed last year by the Democrats with much posturing. Not one Democrat voted to retain the Reform Rules.

Surprise, Surprise….
The Democrat-controlled House rules passed tonight take the three most important changes of Rules Reform Commission and either eliminate or weaken them:

1) Prohibition against gut and run amendments (amending in Rules) – eliminated
2) 24 Hour wait before voting after amending - in my view eviscerated.  Democrats  will say no, but there is a GIANT loophole the Democrats can, and I predict will, use
3) 11 pm limit on voting - weakened.
