This is nothing less than a power grab by Pelosi. It’s going beyond “to the victor go the spoils” and it ought to strike anyone as dangerous that a party with already comfortable majorities would seek to further undermine or destroy any potential minority influence.

Makes the Republicans power sharing agreement in the Senate recently look pretty d@mn stupid doesn’t it?

Speaker Pelosi is not reinventing the wheel. She is merely returning to the good old days of Democrat domination of the House of Representatives. Can any of us who have been around for a while recall any meaningful debate in the House prior to the Republican take over in ‘94?
Like her predecessor Tip O’Neil, Pelosi does not intend to allow the Republicans any platform to affect public policy.

I certainly remember it, and remember a story about a surrendercrat Congresscreature from Texas that ordered a Republican out of a committee meeting, even though the Republican was a member of the committee.

The House is turning into a Good Idea Club.

If Republicans were frozen out, what would happen if they switched en mass to the Democratic party?

Uh…not many would notice?

Do I win?

How in the hell is this even possible? Aren’t there rules on process that are supposed to guarantee that the processes are fair and considerate of all representatives? This stinks of a Constitutional challenge, procedural at best!

You certainly do not remember the House pre-1994, or the days of Tip Oneil.

Back then Republicans were not even allowed in committee meetings, and if they were, they were not allowed to even speak.

I think the only pair of balls we had in Congress left when Newt Gingrich left the House. What is wrong with these people?

That’s easy.
Remember all of those events where a GOP said some off the cuff remark or had a waaaaaay out there contact that was not appropriate and all of the D’s screamed in unison (something the GOP never does) that he should step down? And the Bush admin forced them all to exit stage left without a fight?
That is what is wrong.
Taking the high road will only make your nose bleed.
