A stenographer got on the mike in the middle of the vote and started going on about the freemasons and one national under God. Strange stuff.

Here is the CSPAN video

How dare she think she had the right of free speech. What's wrong with her whistle

Yeah. smile

If you take a close look, she kind of makes it look like she is just sauntering by and then stops and says her piece.

"What's wrong with her"...indeed?

Dave.... she was RANTING Alex Jones' InfoWars
"9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB!" cry Conspiracy Crapola...
This isn't "Free Speech" ... It's one of Alex Jones' stunts
to get Air-Time that'll be replayed to death as, what HE
Believes
ADDS CREDENCE To "THE Conspiracy"

It's a little more serious than a Howard Stern prank
to embarrass public figures, just for his inflated ego
and amusement, it's meant to turn gullible, easily lead
people against the American Government. JONES KNEW
The OPPORTUNITY Was RIPE! That Every Ear In America
WOULD BE HANGING ON EVERY WORD Last Night!


Besides, Dave...
You've obviously never observed "The Proceedings" of
Congress, while in Session...even members of Congress
themselves aren't allowed to just blurt out whatever
they please on the Floor without formally addressing
the person in charge, and first requesting permission
to speak... Stating their business in advance, and waiting
until the person with the gavel "Yields the Floor"
...for a suitably allotted period of time...

LOL They'd have been within their rights to drag
away Harry Reid for pulling a stunt like that. crazy

There's a lady who lives just downhill from us, about 8 or so row-house doors and across the street. Every so often, maybe once or twice a week, she opens up the front window of her second floor room, steps out onto the porch roof with a big white towel or bed sheet. She starts waving the piece of fabric in big sweeping motions, and yells, at full volume, "REPENT. REPENT. REPENT." She says something else too garbled to understand, but no doubt about how sinful we all are, then repeats "REPENT. REPENT. REPENT." And back again to the garbled stuff. That goes on for a good 15 or 20 minutes, sometimes longer.

No one pays any attention to her. Clearly there's something wrong in the mental department.

Maybe the lady in the House is her sister.

Yes I've seen congress in action. I think you noticed my smiley. Course I was being sarcastic to a point. But after all thes junk we've put up with lately this incident was like a breath of fresh air.
I've seen speakers at the podium, speaking up a storm with the camera on them closeup then the camera pans back to take in more of the those seated to show many not seated but milling around visiting in groups or sleeping or what ever or many times showing the speaker talking his hart out to an empty chamber. All vacant except for the necessary officials .

I suppose these speakers can go back to their constituents claiming they spoke in front of congress on a measure.

Agreed...
Aside from "the Government created by Free Masons"
Illuminati conspiracy crap

I understood the biblical reference she was yelling,
"A Man cannot serve 2 masters..."

Matthew 6:24
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

...and the transcript says that they were calling
her by name .. "Molly" as they were trying to calm
her down and lead her away...

So I suspect that you've pretty much hit the nail
on the head with this one.

"There's a lady who lives just downhill"

She won't do it, but her sister will?
