When is a bipartisan claim not really bipartisan.

November 6, 2017

The year isn't over yet, (click here) but 2017 is already expected to be the second- or third-hottest year on record, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) announced today (Nov. 6) at the United Nations climate change conference in Bonn, Germany.  
From January to September 2017, the average global temperature was 1.98 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) above pre-industrial levels, according to the WMO, which is an agency within the United Nations....

Currently, the US House has a record number of refusals to debate amendments. Speaker Ryan has simply blocked amendment after amendment across the spectrum of legislation proposed under this Congress. 1300 amendments have been blocked this year.

Currently on the US House floor is bill HR 3043 regarding hydroelectric power plant licensing.

H.R. 3043--A bill to modernize hydropower policy, (click here) and for other purposes; to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Amended law:
42 USC 15852: Federal purchase requirement (click here)
Text contains those laws in effect on November 6, 2017

From Title 42-THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
CHAPTER 149-NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY AND PROGRAMS
SUBCHAPTER II-RENEWABLE ENERGY
Part A-General Provisions

Also at issue is another House bill, that is not a bipartisan bill naming post offices:

Summary: H.R.3441 — 115th Congress (2017-2018)

There is one summary for H.R.3441. Bill summaries are authored by CRS

This bill amends the National Labor Relations Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to provide that a person may be considered a joint employer in relation to an employee only if such person directly, actually, and immediately, and not in a limited and routine manner, exercises significant control over the essential terms and conditions of employment (including hiring employees, discharging employees, determining individual employee rates of pay and benefits, day-to-day supervision of employees, assigning individual work schedules, positions, and tasks, and administering employee discipline).

Rep. Byrne of Alabama states the bill is bi-partisan. Rep. Jim McGovern states this session of Congress is the most closed session in history. Speaker Ryan is not allowing any open rules. The USA Congress House Rules Committee is dismantling democracy in the US House.

Sometimes the Independent and Democratic members of the USA House of Representatives FORGETS such draconian committees with their Chairpersons can commit ethical issues. A USA House Rules Committee Rep. Pete Sessions (click here) needs to have an ethical investigation filed against him as well as the USA House' Rules Committee members involved with dismantling democracy. This is at least an ethical issue, but, dismantling democratic processes within the federal government is also a seditious conspiracy.

Oppressive rules are not passed by one vote by the Chairperson.

Let's not forget the USA Constitution defines treason and conspiracy to commit subversion of the US Constitution:

18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, (click here) or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

The words "or" in this code is not "and/or." The plan to overthrow the Government of the United States through a Rules Committee is singluarly defined as sedition.

Any laws passed under such oppression by a Rules Committee is obviously open to litigation. Any law that seeks to oppress or destroy democracy is litigable and a clear act of sedition.

Remember who the people of the USA is dealing with; the Plutocrats. Currently, bills passed in the USA House are seditious by changing the name of what constitutes professionals and seeks to end the third arm of the USA Consitution, the courts, in enforcing the USA Constitution. Every American is supposed to be able to access the courts without oppression to bring draconian and oppressive laws to review and end any Plutocratic directive that removes rights from Americans.

The USA Constitution was built on "checks and balances" of power. The courts are the Third Arm of government where laws can be reviewed for Constitutional worthiness. Any effort by the US House or US Senate or the US Executive Branch to oppress the free practice of law through the courts is just as guilty of sedition as those that authored it.

Mr. Byrne (R)  (for himself, Ms. Foxx (R),Mr. Walberg (R), Mr. Wilson of South Carolina (R), Mr. Hunter (R), Mr. Roe of Tennessee (R), Mr. Thompson of Pennsylvania (R), Mr.Guthrie (R), Mr. Rokita (R), Mr. Barletta (R), Mr. Messer (R), Mr. Grothman (R), Ms. Stefanik (R), Mr. Allen (R), Mr. Lewis of Minnesota (R), Mr. Francis Rooney of Florida (R), Mr. Mitchell (R), Mr. Garrett (R), Mr. Smucker (R) (Born Amish, 25 years served as president of the Smucker Company, a family-owned commercial construction firm in Smoketown, Plutocrat), Mr. Ferguson (R), Mrs. Handel (R), Mr. Chabo(R), Mrs. Mimi Walters of California (R), Mr. Collins of Georgia (R), and Mr. Correa  (D) )introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce

There are all but one person that is Caucasian. There are all men, except, for
three. There are all Republicans, except, for two Democrats, one of which is the
sole standing minority in the bill's support.

This IS NOT a bipartisan bill. There is no minority group brought forward by
Minority Leader Pelosi participating in this bill. The passage was opposed by the
strong majority of Democrats.

Mr. Byrne uses the Trump standard ("This is my African American") to deceive
the public in stating this is a bipartisan bill. It is not!
