Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and several members of the House Freedom Caucus made plans Monday night to ask for a roll call vote on a series of suspension bills.

The move forced House Democrats to delay votes on 13 non-controversial pieces of legislation. These types of measures that are generally passed with wide bipartisan support either through voice vote or unanimous consent. Forcing a roll call vote on each measure would've taken up to 10 hours to pass the bills because of Covid restrictions in place in the House of Representatives.
Justification?
Rep Greene Statement said:
The American people deserve to know where their member of Congress stands with a roll call vote. While thousands of illegal aliens are invading Biden's open border, American kids are losing their education with closed schools, thousands of small businesses have been forced to shut down, the People really don't care about politicians whining about voting and doing their job for 10 hours.
Or in other words, because she (they) can.

That said, they should have just done it, instead of bowing to a bully.
