The Speaker decides which legislation gets voted on.

Are you dumb? None of them get a vote if the Speaker tables the bill.

A discharge petition can force a vote without the Speaker’s approval.

I’m smart enough to know what a discharge petition is.

Rarely used and unsuccessful at a near 100% percentage when it is.

That bill is not nearly important enough to warrant breaking with your speaker and majority leader (basically kissing your career goodbye)

It's okay. SEC has proven it can make teams backdown if they need to.

Then you’re also smart enough to know the power the Speaker has in committee assignments and other goodies.

This ain’t the hill members want to die on.

And I’ll add, do not underestimate the anger in this state about this thing. I’m an ULL grad, and I’m furious.

For the SEC’s sake I hope that they get rid of Sankey. He’s not worthy of leading one of the 2 great conferences in this country. He’s a disaster.
