Actually, they do. Ask MTG, Jim Jordan, and many others.
Dems rewrote the rules to allow your supreme goddess and gin supplier to choose who Repubs can assign to which committees.
No, you incompetent twit, they didn't re-write the rules... what they did was violate the "norms" of the House Rules.
The House Rules have always said the Speaker has to approve of all House Committee appointments... what has always been the NORM is that the Speaker delegates and accepts the appointments of the minority party by the minority leader. Pelosi violated that norm for the Jan 6 investigation committee because McCarthy tried to appoint people to the committee who had already tipped their hands that they thought the Committee was a farce.
Truth is, it's just another "shot" across the bow of the long-held American norm of a "loyal opposition"... the Parties - for over a century - generally worked together. When one was in the majority they still worked with the other side - and remained cordial and even somewhat deferential... after all, if there's one constant about American Politics, it is that the OTHER GUY will eventually be in charge again!
Sadly, the end of this "loyal opposition" phase of our Political History started in 1995, when Newt Gingrich took over as Speaker and refused to work with or support any Democrat supported legislation - even amendments. And thus began the slow decline of civility between the sides in our Federal Government... It truly DOES make it SUCK ASS when you're in the minority...
Good news: The Dems will be in the minority soon
Bad news: The Dems will be in the majority again too...
I don't know how it ends... but I don't think it ends well.
