because the tv cameras will document how many of her ilk and cronies are MISSING, and in GITMO....not to mention, that DEMs don't have 218 members present (nor even 200,) thus, not the majority. (which is PRECISELY the scenario that was discussed on QRV, just a few weeks ago- see the thread about the SOTU watch party...) The plan was: to all print out the rosters of House, Senate, and SCOTUS (435 + 100 + 9) and check them off when seen on live tv at SOTU.... Then, realizing that the rest were at GITMO. Pelosi read our threads on QRV, and took the only action she could, to try to defeat that REAL news from being unwittingly documented on LIVE tv broadcasts of the SOTU. Of course, we can do the same thing on CSPAN and CSPAN2 during roll call votes, lacking only SCOTUS (and proof that RBG is still alive...or others, not at GITMO)
