Hastert Rule

For John, BLUF:  .  Nothing to see here; just move along.

The Hastert Rule. This item is so long in the queue that I don't remember where I picked it up.

Does the Hastert Rule Make Sense?

No, it is destructive of Democracy.

Yes, the majority is the majority, after all.

Yes, the Speaker needs to garner as much support as possible.

No, Republicans are just wrong and should not be allowed to do this.

I am not sure.

The real question with regard to the Hastert Rule is what about those who are a minority in the majority.  If they are sufficiently excluded, why don't they do go to the real minority?  There must be something in it for them that they remain a minority within the majority.
