How so? I wasn't aware that refusing to push forward with unpopular legislation was somehow tantamount to dereliction of duty.

Have you heard of her negotiating in good faith or even showing to floor discussions? How about meeting with other members at the White House? Nope, she refuses. 

The executive branch is required to submit a record of appropriations. In turn, the Speaker is required to refer this record to committees to build legislation subject to a vote. They don’t have to approve it but it must go to the floor. Hence, she is derelict in her actions, well, lack of. She must also function in good faith on behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives which she refuses to show face on the floor. She is more than happy to be on TV or Facebook feeds while she has a chair fill-in. Having a member fill-in is not unusual but during this situation it is unacceptable.
