    Incorrect. The speaker has full dictatorial control of what comes up for a vote in the first place.

    If they flipped, and caucused with the dems as independents… Johnson wouldn’t be speaker, now would he? Jeffries or whoever would be.

    It’s a pipe dream, but it’s such a very lovely pipe dream because it’s actually possible.

      Oh yeah, missed that part somehow lol, sorry about that!

      Jeffries might not let it go ahead either, though. He’s quite right wing and EXTREMELY pro-corporate, so he may well have some owner donors in common with the six judicial disgraces 🤷

        I mean it’s possible, but we’re asking republicans to do the right thing here; and I’m pretty sure they haven’t run out of other things to try yet, so, it’s gonna be a while.

            Well, it might take him less time. I think we can rely on him to skip over things like “child sacrifice” and “ritual orgy”
