Hoping to avoid another embarrassing and chaotic floor fight over proposals to protect workers from being fired on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, House Republicans are moving to change the rules for how to deal with such hot-button amendments to future spending bills. Last week house members got into a messy floor fight where house reps were yelling “shame, shame, shame…” at the democrat members. The democrats have already stated their plans to press this issue again in the house to get a bill passed as well as republicans avoiding another fight. This relates back to the civil rights movements of the 1950’s-80’s were people were fighting for their basic human rights and the conservative party was shutting down those attempts. Personally I think the republicans are hot headed and that all of this is unnecessary throughout the past 50 years and even before then, the most radical parties have always been against social change and justice. This immature fight was uncalled for and has happened before. Luckily no one got shot because of it.
