If people are held to what they are said prior to being in this house, if Majority Party gets to decide who sits on what committees, i hope you keep that standard because we have a long list to work within your own. Paul thursdays near partyline vote came a day after House Republicans overwhelmingly chose cheney in her leadership post after she came on fire from some numbers for voting to impeach president trump. Lets bring in our panel. Deputy editorial page editor, dan henninger, Colonists Can Strassel and kyle peterson.
