Consider this: McCarthy is agreeing to some things in order to appease the Conservative members that are currently against him. Once the Conservative members are happy with what they're getting, they will vote for him and we will have Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy.
Then the House has to pass the Rules Package, which will include McCarthy's concessions. There has already been one Moderate who has said he's against the package. (Some Republican from Texas.) So, now that McCarthy is Speaker, the Conservative group has no leverage so McCarthy has to give back the concessions to appease the Moderates.
McCarthy wins.
I don't think it quite work this way. There are binding written agreements that carry the force of law that gets signed. Whatever the patriot insurgents have negotiated is signed as an agreement in exchange for their vote. The question is what has been agreed too and how will this benefit the American people versus special interests.
Excuse me for not belieivng that "the force of law" will be used against any member of congress.
That's reserved for us little people for stuff like walking into the capitol building.
An unwritten law taught in law school is for lawyers to always honor their agreements between other lawyers. This is because Judges see it as extremely bad behavior otherwise and a stain on the profession. The political circle of lawyers only tends to amplify this. It's a completely different story with an agreement between a client and a lawyer. Lawyers, being part of the 'club', are given much greater latitude to screw over the client. In the political circle of lawyers it only amplifies this latitude.
This is why putting in Mc is a slap to our faces.
I think the 6 Patriots & Trump are going to give McCarthy enough rope over the next 9 months to show his true colors then take him out... can't do anything until Sep 2023 due to the omnibus that was just approved, until then it's all about Kevin showing the country who he really is
I think there’s a “one vote bye-bye” in there somewhere…
What I've read is that they ARE in writing ... in the Rules Package. And the whole House has to vote on the Rules Package.
So it’s just a handshake deal? Smoke and mirrors these assholes….
Apparently* it's legally binding... but, I'll believe it when I see Epstein's full Flight Log/Visitor list.
I sure hope so....if not that's super gay
this is exactly what i was saying... what makes people think mccarthy will stand by these concessions?
There is some 5D chess being played. Trump supporting McCarthy will leave the demo wondering if their swamp creature has been compromised, and this will prevent them colluding to get him elected. I see it as a stalemate. Could drag out for a long time, which may be the plan.
