This Hugh Brady
-One of the most qualified people in the country to serve as the parliamentarian for Texas.
-Clerked for a Reagan Appointee too, was appointed by a Republican before Phelan, so he's worked on both sides of the aisle,
If Democrats were in power they’d never allow a Republican as House Parliamentarian. So why has Dade Phelan retained a Liberal, Obama West Wing Democrat as our House Parliamentarian? Simple, holding on to power is more important to him than advancing Republican legislation.
