Tom McClintock hinting at penalties for rule defiers, highlighting internal GOP tensions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/house-republicans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>House Republicans<\/a> are brushing off concerns that they will be censured for voting down a rule that would bring the reauthorization of the <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/FISA\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act<\/a> to the floor, with a few taunting, \u201cGo ahead.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, 19 Republicans voted with <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democrats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Democrats<\/a> to effectively kill the House\u2019s attempts to move a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-lawmakers-reintroduce-nationwide-right-to-work-bill\/\" title=\"GOP lawmakers reintroduce Nationwide Right-to-Work bill\">bill forward<\/a> that would renew Section 702 of FISA, an important foreign surveillance tool that has driven wedges within the Republican conference over whether there should be warrant requirements when involving the data of U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n<p>The 19 Republicans were Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Dan Bishop (R-NC), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Tim Burchett (R-TN), Michael Cloud (R-TX), Eli Crane (R-AZ), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Bob Good (R-VA) Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Clay Higgins (R-LA), Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Nancy Mace (R-SC), Cory Mills (R-FL), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Andy Ogles (R-TN), Scott Perry (R-PA), Matt Rosendale (R-MT), Chip Roy (R-TX), and Greg Steube (R-FL). <\/p>\n<p>Following the tanking of the procedural rule, Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) suggested \u201csevere sanctions\u201d for members who are going against the majority on advancing a rule, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/covid-19-relief-bill-contains-10-billion-for-global-response\/\" title=\"COVID-19 Relief Bill Contains  Billion for Global Response\">procedural move<\/a> that typically is voted along <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lawmakers-debate-future-infrastructure-bills\/\" title=\"Lawmakers debate future infrastructure bills\">party lines<\/a> and rarely fails on the House floor. In recent months, however, some House Republicans have weaponized the procedure to stall legislation that they do not agree with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose are not individual decisions; they are decisions that are made collectively by the majority \u2026 and implemented by the majority, acting as a majority,\u201d McClintock told reporters on Wednesday. \u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s collapsed in the House, and that\u2019s what needs to be fixed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, some of the 19 House Republicans rebuffed or laughed at the idea of censures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat, I\u2019m going to be censured because I wanted amendments? I wanted debate,\u201d Burchett said to the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>. \u201cI wanted fairness \u2014 even with people I don\u2019t agree with, I wanted them to be able to have a say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know about you, but back in Tennessee, we call that democracy. Well, and please accuse me of being a proponent of democracy,\u201d Burchett added.<\/p>\n<p>Mills echoed Burchett, saying he would \u201clove\u201d for a censure to be filed against him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo ahead and try to censure us or expel us for protecting American privacy,\u201d Mills said. \u201cYeah, let\u2019s see how that goes over the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of the 19 House Republicans who voted against the rule on Wednesday are warming to the idea of another rule vote now that the new FISA bill text includes a two-year sunset on reauthorization, which currently sits at five years. Another appeasement came in the form of a stand-alone vote on Rep. Warren Davidson\u2019s (R-OH) bill, the Fourth Amendment is Not For Sale Act.<\/p>\n<p>It remains unclear whether the early sunset and amendment vote provisions are enough to appease the holdouts. Some GOP members are adamant about including warrant requirements in FISA, and the absence of such requirements may cause them to tank the procedural rule yet again.<\/p>\n<p>However, some members, including Biggs, Luna, and Gaetz, say the changes are enough to flip their votes. The Rules Committee is expected to meet late Thursday night, with a vote on another procedural rule for FISA expected as early as Friday morning. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Biggs said, \u201cHave at it\u201d when asked how he felt about sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always believed that we should just censure everybody and then start over with a clean slate,\u201d Biggs said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Republicans are unfazed by potential censure over rejecting a rule tied to the reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. &#8220;Go ahead,&#8221; they challenge. 19 Republicans joined Democrats in blocking progress on the bill<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2648,"featured_media":2218924,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/wex-s3.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/AP24012618799305-1024x683.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2218923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/wex-s3.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/AP24012618799305-1024x683.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2218923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2648"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2218923"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2218923\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2218924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2218923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2218923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2218923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
