to

Balances
Aren’t
Code"
"Respectfully,

Pelosi,
those
checks
and
balances
are
what
separate
our
job
as
lawmakers
from
punditry
or
blind
political
cheerleading."

rejecting

conference
today
that
“checks

is
merely
Republican
"code"
for

Leader
Pelosi,
those
checks
and
balances
are
what
separate
our
job
as
lawmakers
from
punditry

political
cheerleading.
Checks
and
balances
aren’t
code,
they’re
what
give
our
constituentsthe
American
peoplea
voice
in
a
city
full
of
unelected
bureaucrats.
They

profoundly
important
for
