Also, the speaker just clarified:
If there is more then 10 minutes of discussion, the bill is automatically withdrawn from the calendar. Eg: KILLED.
So apparently, theyre KILLING Bills??!?!
This is ridiculous.

Re: MOVING FROM GENERAL CALENDAR TO 'MAJOR' CALENDAR??
As I understand it, it's house members intentionally using the maximum 10 minutes allowed for questioning for EVERY SINGLE BILL in order to delay, or prevent other bills from being reached, intentionally.
As one rep said earlier 'This bill passed it's earlier reading with 1 10 second question, I don't see why all of the sudden there's all this renewed interest in it unless it is to intentionally delay the calendar.'

Re: MOVING FROM GENERAL CALENDAR TO 'MAJOR' CALENDAR??
I'm watching now, and they're doing this Chubbing junk again. Aargh.
This is ridiculous, and people are even pointing out on the floor that it is.
