House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has the power to veto Minority Leader's picks.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Monday night named five Republicans to serve on a select committee to investigate the insurrection carried out by a mob of Donald Trump supporters at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Three of the five members McCarthy selected voted to block certification of President Joe Biden's victory, leading to questions about whether Democrats will accept McCarthy's choices.

McCarthy chose Reps. Rodney Davis (R-IL), Jim Jordan (R-OH), Jim Banks (R-IN), Kelly Armstrong (R-ND), and Troy Nehls (R-TX) to serve on the committee to probe the origins of the insurrection and come up with ideas for how to prevent similar attacks in the future.

1. I expect them to be vetoed...

Within 24 hours of the official announcement.

3. Yup. Kevin blew that negotiation.

[Eyeball_Kid]

14. Kevin doesn't negotiate. He takes his orders from Trump.

Trump wants to gum up the commission, McCarthy readily obliges. This isn't complicated.

Pelosi would be a fool to accept these recommendations. This isn't a circus.

8. You Do?

I don't. I expect them to be approved and ruin any chance there was of uncovering the truth.

I have ZERO faith in this country to have a smidge of accountability.

[2naSalit]

9. Well...

We'll see in a day or two.

[SoCalDavidS]

10. Hope I'm Wrong, And You're Right

But honestly, I expect a dog & pony show at this point. That won't stop the media from covering it from start to finish, but eventually, it will be a largely unsatisfying ending.

[2naSalit]

11. I expect the Speaker to intervene...

It is a different control point this time so I'm hoping that it will go differently.

[SoCalDavidS]

12. Like You Said, We'll See Soon Enough

I've just pretty much lost all faith in this country.

2. Your move, Nancy.

Junkyard Dog Jordan must not be allowed.

13. Not just him

This is nearly as insulting as nominating Greene and Boebert to the committee. Others have said those two weren’t nominated because they can’t be controlled, but I suspect the fact neither of them ever does any work might have had something to do with it too.

If I was Speaker Pelosi, I’d seat Liz Cheney and four other Never Trumpers over the objections of the GOP leadership. Then I would subpoena Trump, and have him arrested if he refused to comply.

4. Potential witnesses should not be members of the committee

5. Traitors disqualified themselves

Give them nothing

[SheltieLover]

6. K&R!

A lot of nerve trying to pull this!

7. Keep Gym on the Committee. He is nothing if not predictable.
