This must be one of the biggest wastes of time I’ve ever seen in Congress. Why take the time and effort to do all of this?

It *is* a huge waste of time, but only one Member of Congress needs to act to force it, and the Congresswoman doing so is crazy and wants to disrupt random shit so she can go home and say “look, I stuck it to the establishment”. House Republicans are apparently getting fed up with her, but just because it means more busywork – they don’t want the bills to pass either but this doesn’t stop them, just slows them.
