Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) is ceding his position as top Democrat on the powerful Judiciary Committee amid a tough challenge from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), — a stunning shift on a powerful committee that’s sure to play a considerable role in the oversight of the second Trump administration.
In a letter to colleagues, Nadler said he’s endorsing Raskin for the spot.
The move marks a stunning fall for Nadler, a fiery Manhattan liberal and 34 year veteran of Congress, who rose to the top of the Judiciary panel in 2017 and helped to guide the two impeachments of President Trump. As senior Democrat on the committee, he had the edge among those in the party who want to stick with their traditional system that rewards experience and longevity at the top of committees.

Just trading one fat jerk for a less fat jerk.
Nadler would not do this out of charity; I wonder what the payoff is.
Raskin is a seditious F~€k, scheming civil war.
Heard he tripped on some fallen food and fell over onto someone once and they had to get the firefighters to peel him off the floor. What was left of the guy. Looked like Gumby.
“...Nadler, a fiery Manhattan liberal and 34 year veteran of Congress...”
One would be hard pressed to find an uglier, fatter, grosser, porcine in our pathetic gummit. A lot of candidates though.
isn’t Nadler the one who crapped his pants?
Raskin is more cut throat and Nadler is stupid, so the Dems want the alert fighter.
If someone were walking down a deserted street, to borrow an example used by Jesse Jackson, and saw Raskin behind him with his thuggish eyes, he would have cause for alarm.
Nadler was once 338 pounds. Two surgeries.
Roll Call on the courage of facing down the prejudiced enemies....
Beyond the painful surgery, Nadler also impacted friends and strangers alike as he decided to open up about the emotional pain of obesity — the jokes, stares, snickers and other forms of prejudice — he has had to endure over the years.
In the initial surgery, more than half of Nadler’s stomach was removed, leaving only a small pouch and thus reducing his eating.
The Congressman used to wolf down a salad, a bowl of soup, a steak, french fries, vegetables, bread, butter and dessert for a typical lunch, according to a New York Times profile.
His wife has pancreatic cancer, he’s 77 years old and maybe he’s discovered that politics aint life.
I'm sure that when he got home and his wife asked what he had for lunch he said "a salad".
“Nadler would not do this out of charity; I wonder what the payoff is”
I don’t think they needed to pay him off. They know he is a jersey lover. But it is a departure from their senority system.
We should send Raskin and Nadler to Gaza.
Rag brain endorsing Rag Head.
Nailer was going to sit this race out, but after he shat in his pants during a live TV speech/photo-op, he couldn’t even exit that stage politely.
There’s nothing “fiery” about Nadler except maybe his acid indigestion.
“Raskin is a seditious F~€k, scheming civil war.”
Does this mean the deep state is planning to fight 2016 all over again?
The democrats are evil. The whole party is evil.
It means nothing. Raskin has no power in the minority.
