There has been a lot of controversy over a change in the rules that govern the operation of the House of Representatives. The majority party has opted to allow proxy voting, placing the votes of most of the members of what is euphemistically referred to as “the people’s house” in the hands of a select few.

Republican leadership in the House has threatened a lawsuit to force the Democrat majority to reverse the course, but the Supreme Court will likely decline to enter into congressional infighting. After all, the separation of powers inherent in the Constitution, as well as the judiciary’s dependence on Congress for funding, would compel the courts to beg out.
