Speaker Boehner Won't Hold a Simple Vote on Middle Class Tax Relief Bill
December 28, 2012Rep. Van Hollen discusses on the December 28th, 2012 broadcast of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Speaker John Boehner's refusal to let the House of Representatives work its will and hold a vote on the Democratic fiscal cliff proposal. Instead, the Speaker is following his "Majority of the Majority" rule where no bill is brought to the floor unless a majority of Republicans will vote for it. In other words, just a handful of Tea Party Republicans are all it takes to prevent a bill from being considered-- even Speaker Boehner's own "Plan B," to name just one.
