Don Wolfensberger at The Hill:
By attempting to short-circuit and compress committee and floor workloads, Congress is losing both its deliberative capacity and its ability to provide a proper check on the executive branch. The longer-term danger is that such truncated procedures will be incorporated in House standing rules after the pandemic as a matter of convenience, at least for majority party members and their leadership, but to the detriment of the minority party and the institution’s constitutional prerogatives.
