Civil war. Barring any lastminute changes, the panel will consist of seven democrats and one renegade republican. House Minority Leader Kevin Mccarthy was given the opportunity to appoint five republicans but took his ball and went home after Speaker Pelosi rejected two trump loyalists that he put forward.
