ROUND 2: House Republicans continue revolt...
WARN: Lift drilling ban or risk shutdown...
BREITBART.COM Republicans Monday took to a darkened House of Representatives, in a highly unusual demand for Democratic leaders to recall Congress from its summer recess for a vote on offshore oil drilling.
Speeches by lawmakers echoed through a near-empty chamber, in protest at Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi's failure to schedule a vote on the politically sensitive measure before Congress broke up last week.
"There will be many more hours of this day and this week where our debate over energy independence will continue in a darkened chamber with no microphones and, sadly, no window to the broader American public," said Indiana congressman Mike Pence.
