Representative Chris Van Hollen on the House floor calling out Eric Cantor, the Republican Party and the seven Democrats that effectively ended democracy as we know it.
Democrats decided to become turncoats, and betray the Democratic Party by aligning with the Republican Party on a bill that would prevent the government from reopening by anybody but Eric Cantor. They include the following:
Ron Barber (AZ-2)
John Barrow (GA-12)
Dan Maffei (NY-24)
Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18)
Jim Matheson (UT-4)
Mike McIntyre (NC-7)
Collin Peterson (MN-7)

(50,130 posts)5. I want to know about the status of that provision.
Is it still intact?
It ended Democracy. It removed the privilege of every House member but Cantor.
