<<<< By preventing Democrats from offering amendments, Republicans virtually eliminate the possibility of the House passing legislation not endorsed or written by GOP leaders. As important, they eliminate a key opportunity for Democrats to divide Republicans by writing alternative bills that might appeal to moderate Republicans. Republicans also protect their members from swing districts from having to vote for or against some bills that could hurt them politically in the next election.

These guys have finally learned how to rule as the majority party in Congress. The Democrats knew how for many decades, and did so, while the Republicans knew only how to roll over and play dead as the minority.

It's waaaayyy past time.
