The Supreme Court declined Monday to take up a Republican lawsuit challenging proxy voting rules in the House of Representatives that have been in place since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The rejection of the suit by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) affirms a prior federal appeals court ruling that the judiciary was prohibited from reviewing internal House rules. McCarthy took the case to the Supreme Court in September, arguing that proxy voting – in which members submit their votes on legislation and other matters through delegated members when not physically present on Capitol Hill – was unconstitutional.
