Not voting with the party was the excuse given. 3 of the 4 are teabaggers, yet one of the known replacements is a teabagger, Rep. Mick Mulvaney(sc). It might be more of a lateral move or backroom dealing. The 4 removed from the committees might not be so willing to vote for any debt deal negotiated. The ones coming in might have been promised the committeeship, if they do vote for the negotiated deal.
