Hmmm...
A mental slip-up...

IAC, if it wasn’t for all the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren in southern MD, my wife & I would have been gone from MD long ago...

Given the Pelosi precedent, can’t the new R speaker decide who can - and cannot - sit on committee? (And Raskin-the-Idiot would be a big NO).

That’s what I thought.

Haven’t we been told that McCarthy promised the dirtbag Schiff will not sit on ANY committee?

Should be the same with Raskin.

So Big Bad McCarthy can refuse to seat him the way Pelosi screwed him on the Jan 6 “committee” assignments

But of course we know the nutless coward won’t do anything
