Here is the point, The original Hastert-rule was applied even to amendments. Hastert applied it while we were attempting to attach it to the military appropriations bill (which was(and still is) must-pass legislation) sometime back in the House.
This is why I emphasize, Will Ryan do the same to not only legislation, but amendments as well!
