Lamar Smith of TX 21 will be chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, which is Justice’s oversight in the House. Has joined the Tea Party Caucus. A gentleman but a perpetual thorn in the wrong side of any legal issue. Been there a long time but will finally be in charge (he was outranked by others in past years of GOP control). I for one am very much anticipating it. Watch and enjoy!
Here’s hoping... from your lips to God’s ears.
I will watch and I hope it will be enjoyable and not nerve-wracking. It will be enjoyable if — win, lose or draw — the Republicans fight hard and fight smart and never give up, never give in, and never compromise, especially in the name of “being cozy pals with all the cool people in DC”.
It will be nerve-wracking if they start to hem and haw and explain why now isn’t the time to fight this or that battle... or just completely drop any mention of this or that battle.
I do NOT have a good feeling about it. But I earnestly and fervently hope I am wrong.
I will be watching.
