House Democrats stormed out of a Rules Committee meeting this afternoon after Republicans proposed House Rules changes which would reduce the number of Democrats serving on each standing committee by one.
A second rule change would allow the House to table individual amendments rather than table a bill, which had been used by both parties in the past.
House Democrats had proposed 42 amendments to the reform bills Republicans moved out of committee earlier in the week.
