In reply to the discussion: Does AOC not meet the requirements to serve on the house judiciary committee? [View all]PTWB
(4,131 posts)I looked online. I looked at the Wiki and read the rules of the house judiciary committee. The only information I found was an article which referenced there being a loose tradition of the members of the committee having a legal background.
I didn't know if there was some sort of rule that required a certain amount of seniority (which AOC would not possess) to be eligible for the committee, or perhaps some other requirement.
My primary goal here was to definitively answer the question of whether or not there exists a "strict qualification and requirement" that AOC does not meet. It is hard to prove a negative so even the information posted here by the helpful members of this forum doesn't really specifically say that, although all evidence suggests there is not such a requirement.
My second goal is absolutely to encourage debating honestly with one another. Read my posts through this thread, I've made that clear from the beginning.
If I had wanted to shame the person who made those claims I could easily have linked to their post or named them, but I did not and will not. That isn't what this is about.
