"SCOTUS' refusal of @HouseGOP's request to overturn the dismissal of their frivolous lawsuit to block remote voting by proxy is a victory for Congress, the rule of law and public health.

Both the Constitution and more than a century of legal precedent make clear that the House is empowered to determine its own rules -- and remote voting by proxy falls squarely within this purview.

Republicans have worked to recklessly endanger the health of colleagues, staffers and institutional workers. They do so with great shame and hypocrisy, as last year alone more than half of the Members of their conference designated a proxy so that they could vote remotely.

As our nation continues to battle the pandemic, Republicans must now abandon this sad stunt and join Democrats to crush the virus, grow our economy and bring down costs for families."
