Hello @ringwiss.bsky.social in last week’s House Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing for Federal Judge nominee Bove favoured by the president, it appears the procedures were not being followed per the rules. In that instance, when in your opinion would/will the Parliamentatian weigh in? Thanks
