Swalwell - OFF. Omar - OFF. Schiff - OFF. They CAN get on committees. Just not the plum committees that they WERE on, when they changed the rules.McCarthy argued that the precedent set by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. — allowing members of the minority to be removed from committees by votes of the majority — could subject Democrats to similar punishments in a Republican-led House. All hold highly sought committee assignments: Swalwell on Intelligence, Omar on Foreign Affairs and Jeffries on Judiciary.
"What they have started cannot be easily undone. Their actions today, and the past, have forever changed the way the House operates," McCarthy said on the House floor. "And furthermore, it means under the Pelosi precedent, all the members that I have mentioned earlier (Swalwell, Omar, and Schiff) will need the approval of a majority to keep those positions in the future.
"This body has suffered greatly. And the new standard will continue to be applied in the future," he said, without defending or condemning Gosar.

The 118th Congress is respecting the rule change - and the folks who changed the rules are HOWLING.

It is rumored the Committee to name Post Offices and Bridges is open, if any of those clowns are looking for a new power base.

Just another symptom of our dysfunctional leadership. A handful of holdouts are pushing a poor agenda that doesn't include compromise.Cannonpointer » 27 Jan 2023, 3:48 am » wrote: ↑ The holdouts seem to be setting the agenda - or at least affecting it.

The 118th congress will get vry little done with the merry band of harsh conservatives holding things up.

Oh, the Democrats HAD to know this was coming. In fact, they did know it. The fake outrage is just more Hollywood-imagineered theatrics on the part of the Dems.Cannonpointer » 27 Jan 2023, 1:14 am » wrote: ↑ The 117th Congress reversed a century of precedent which allowed the minority party to select from its ranks those members who would sit on committees.

That's politics. You may or may not remember that Joe Lieberman - ONE DEMOCRAT - decided that the USA would not have medicare for all, and instead we got obamacare, which was written by insurance industry lobbyists.
I doubt the 118th congress will be any more partisan tha the 117th - indeed, I cannot imagine how they could.
