House is non-essential…

…and so are most politicians.   With Speaker Antoinette’s declaration that the House of Representatives would not return to work next week,  the House has declared itself non-essential.   Andrea Widburg not only describes the cowards accurately,  she does so with plenty of  stinging observations  from her own pen and the Twitter feed of Pradheep J. Shanker.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has sent the Speaker a letter containing  a plan  to open the House in a safe manner to get some of the peoples’ business done.  It is well-thought out and quite sensible,  but Pelosi is claiming the Capitol physician is preventing their return.  He is not,  for the simple reason he lacks the power to do so.  Pelosi is just lying,  as she is in the habit of doing.   The plan  has been  demonstrated in a small measure.
