Pelosi couldn't get the votes to do that.

McCarthy just went to Florida to kiss Trump's ring, so he's not going to do anything Trump wouldn't approve of. There can be no doubt that Trump thinks Greene is an ideal House Rep. So I don't think McCarthy is going to remove Greene from her committee assignment, no matter how much pressure he gets to do so.

has somewhere around 50 members. I'm hoping she'll continue her attention-seeking tweets that'll hopefully appall all but fellow extremists. She's a disgusting embarrassment for a lot of conservatives who wept just like us at the tragedy at Sandy Hook.

is reduce the size of the committee to the point that no new members are on it on the GOP side, that would, of necessity, wind up removing some new Democratic members too.
