If Jim Jordan is permitted on the select committee the rules need to be changed

[dsc]

Currently a member gets x minutes (usually 5) for both questions and answers which gives both the questioner and the answerer an incentive to filibuster and in the case of the answerer not answering what they were asked. My proposal would be the following. Members are given x minutes for questions only or a set number of questions. Members can't interrupt answers but the chair can determine an answer isn't germane and stop an answer. First time member interrupts, warning, Second time member interrupts the same witness, they are done for that witness. This would stop the Jordan filibusters and interrupting of witnesses.

1. Jim Jordan was part of the insurrection, and voted not to certify the election, but even worse

comments already made by Jordan and others on that committee blaming Pelosi for the insurrection, along with BLM, and every other distraction unrelated to the storming of the capital on January 6th, are more than enough reasons why they should not be part of the committee.

If Pelosi allows that, it will devolve into an circus with those republicans having no intention to try and discover how things got so out of hand, why the Capital was left unsecured, and why it took so long to have the National Guard employed, etc.

Instead they will interrupt, distract, and do everything to disrupt the proceedings. They have said as much.

It will be a very bad mistake if this is allowed to happen.

2. that is why the rule against interrupting must be enforced

honestly, I don't see them replacing Jordan with anyone better. So, let him be on it, but have strict rules that are strictly enforced. I can't ban kids who don't like math or school from my classroom but I can have rules and enforce them.

6. After the harassment of Dr. Fauci by rand paul, I don't see them enforcing that, where the Senate

is presumably more structured

Also, there is a republican better than Jordan, and that is Adam Kinzinger

If Jordan is part of the committee, there is going to be complete disruption and chaos

I sure won't watch it

3. Why are we allowing ANY Rethugs on the committee?

They were all complicit in what happened. This is like allowing a murderer who is on trial to serve on his own jury.

[Jim__]

4. They definitely need new rules to bring back order to hearings.

Members consistently violating rules need to be removed from the session.

At yesterday's Senate hearing with Dr Fauci, even after Rand's time was up and the chair person allowed Dr Fauci to respond, Rand continued to talk over Dr Fauci. The experts responses are being talked over by idiots.

5. Honestly, I think the rules aren't good period

but for this in particular they need changing. Many members just aren't all that good at questioning and the format is part of the problem. Others are actively disruptive and the rules are a huge part of the problem.

7. They are determined to turn this into a shit show. these are trump picks.

[Hoyt]

8. GOPers have nominated their members. Get the hearings on. Don't think Jordan, etc. will look good.

[tavernier]

9. Nancy doesn't have to accept them

and I certainly hope she won’t. Any congressman who didn’t accept this as a valid election should not participate. I’m quite certain that NASA wouldn’t choose any flat earthers to be astronauts.

[Hoyt]

10. Hope she does. Don't think we gain anything wrangling about members. It's not like

the Speaker picked objective members either.

Christ, we are not going to accomplish anything fighting about BS issues. Leave it for the commission's deliberations.

11. i cannot believe Nancy Pelosi is even considering this moron.
