    Incorrect. The speaker has full dictatorial control of what comes up for a vote in the first place.

    If they flipped, and caucused with the dems as independents… Johnson wouldn’t be speaker, now would he? Jeffries or whoever would be.

    It’s a pipe dream, but it’s such a very lovely pipe dream because it’s actually possible.

      Oh yeah, missed that part somehow lol, sorry about that!

      Jeffries might not let it go ahead either, though. He’s quite right wing and EXTREMELY pro-corporate, so he may well have some owner donors in common with the six judicial disgraces 🤷
