Why isn’t this committee already controlled by the majority?
The majority party in each branch of Congress controls a lot of things in the committees, but each minority leader has freedom to select their own committee members. There are party rules and traditions about it (seniority weighing most heavily) but nothing binding. Schumer is free to say that KH will be on the SJC, period. The ‘Rats are trying to use MSM pressure to push McConnell to help them with their own problem. Mitch needs to tell them to #### off.
