Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) appointed two of his conservative critics to the House Rules Committee on Monday following this month’s protracted Speaker’s race, when the GOP leader agreed to increase the number of hard-line Republicans on the panel.

McCarthy appointed GOP Reps. Ralph Norman (S.C.) and Chip Roy (Texas) to the powerful panel, giving them a seat on the committee that controls how bills are debated on the House floor after the pair voted against McCarthy’s Speakership bid on the first 11 ballots earlier this month.

Two is better than none, but I thought they had agreed on three.

Ralph Norman is Mick Mulvaneys replacement in the north SC (fort mill/rock hill) area. He’s very pro business but also conservative in the way Mulvaney used to be.

Ralph Northam is the former Democrat governor of VA. Total tool.

You’re confusing Ralph Northam with Ralph Norman. I don’t know anything about Norman.

“””In the last Congress, the majority party had nine lawmakers on the Rules Committee and the minority party had four — meaning if three members of the majority objected, the rule would not pass.”””


The House was basically 50/50 in the last congress (as it is this congress) so why is the rules committee so lopsided?

Does that mean he is a chamber of commerce conservative who supports de facto open borders, cutting social security payments and is big on marginal tax rate reform?

This is SO good for the GOP. Just like it's better when men have a fist fight to work shit out. Everything is resolved thereafter. Old school.

But they still need to deal with the open borders traitor in TX and the drag queen Santos.

Any time Chip Roy is there to speak up and help make decisions, I’m pleased. It’s a shame none of his colleagues stay to listen to his speeches on the House floor. He is well-informed and spot on in his opinions. Many could learn a lot from him.

However, Jaguar has spread globally and now has manufacturing plants in different countries, including China, Austria, and India.

Funny how you never hear the media describe democrats
as “hard line”.

Have to say it seems like he’s off to a good start.
