From what I've heard, the "rules" committee (which is more of a sort-of-guidelines-if-the-speaker-wants committee) of the House, at the start of the current legislative session, declared that the House would no longer vote on resolutions to honor or recognise people, groups, or events, using the bloat of resolutions honoring everything from little-league baseball teams to military operations to civil rights leaders as the rationale. And I can't say I disagree with the sentiment - even though it takes hardly any time and has no policy impact, the hundreds of bills congress passes honoring or recognising who- or whatever is a little ridiculous.
But such a categoric refusal to vote on ANY bill honoring ANYTHING is a little much. This is the kind of event that the congressional record and the idea of passing resolutions to honor people is MEANT FOR. it's either a political ploy or an extreme and fundamentalist point of view on the negativity of ANY AND ALL resolutions EVER that honor shit.
