    Incorrect. The speaker has full dictatorial control of what comes up for a vote in the first place.

    If they flipped, and caucused with the dems as independentsā€¦ Johnson wouldnā€™t be speaker, now would he? Jeffries or whoever would be.

    Itā€™s a pipe dream, but itā€™s such a very lovely pipe dream because itā€™s actually possible.

      Oh yeah, missed that part somehow lol, sorry about that!

      Jeffries might not let it go ahead either, though. Heā€™s quite right wing and EXTREMELY pro-corporate, so he may well have some owner donors in common with the six judicial disgraces šŸ¤·

        I mean itā€™s possible, but weā€™re asking republicans to do the right thing here; and Iā€™m pretty sure they havenā€™t run out of other things to try yet, so, itā€™s gonna be a while.
