No, you Google it.

Better yet, learn to question everything you hear and to check out rumors before reporting them as fact.

Senate and House leaders have repeatedly said that those rumors are false. I posted one link earlier, and here’s another:

’ . . . Senator Reid noted that those who vote against the debt ceiling bill could still have a chance to be on the committee, ‘because people can vote against this bill and still think the joint committee is a good idea.’ However, he also cautioned that those who were critical of the super congress are not likely to be appointed.

A spokesman for Senator McConnell reportedly said the Kentucky Republican would also not look at whether or not a Republican Senator voted for the bill as a criteria for an appointment on the joint committee. . . “

you are literally correct.
however, i think Georgia Girl 2 understands the reality,
of the “UNWRITTEN” rule. in that, i believe she is correct.

“A spokesman for Senator McConnell reportedly said the Kentucky Republican would also not look at whether or not a Republican Senator voted for the bill as a criteria for an appointment on the joint committee. . . “”

3 different senate sources were reported as saying the above is not true. you can believe them, or you can believe McConnell’s “spokesman”.

i know i’d bet money, that a true budget cutter like DeMint won’t get near the committee.
