Anyone watching the House?

They have a motion to table..it's showing "Jack Abramohh Investigation & House Ethics". The speaker took a voice vote, LOUD. IMO, the nays had it, but apparently the speaker felt differently. :shrug: It's in electronic vote now.

Guess it's time to go ahead an tune in to Thom. *sigh*

edit to add: at least there were six Cons who voted not to kill it. Curiously, there were seven Dems voting 'present' vs. two Cons.
