    The speaker of the house is mad that he wasn’t involved in senate business? Sounds like a fucking excuse to me.

      I imagine that during bipartisan Senate negotiations it’d be prudent and/or courteous to include the House leadership as well, to avoid this exact kind of embarrassment.

      The speaker doesn’t have to be involved in all things. They aren’t on every committee.

        Yes, the speaker of the house really shouldn’t be involved in senate business. That’s what I was saying. It was a bullshit excuse on the speaker’s part.
