I don't like McCarthy or anyone in the GOP leadership but at least McCarthy doesn't have the powers any other speaker has. He needs to be controlled. I'm also glad that they are cutting back the ethics committee or eliminating it entirely.
These are much needed Concessions. Congress needs time to go over & actually read complex spending bills. Term-Limits & Border Security are very important. We also need much more voting integrity & Voter ID. Having real Conservatives on important Committees will go a long way to ensure no wimpy backroom deals.
As I understand it it is not a single member vote to oust speaker it is a single member call for a vote to oust speaker.
Passing any bill regarding either term limits and border security will not get past the Senate and even if it does Biden would veto it.
There is nothing wrong with putting freedom caucus members on Rules Committee.
I’m not certain what it means for a pro-McCarthy pac to stay out of safe primary races.
There needs to be a through investigation on the weaponization of all the intelligence agencies and law enforcement not just the DOJ.
A 72 hour window to read a bill is not enough when there are bills that are comprised of thousands of pages. There must be a reasonable limit on the size of bills that allows comprehension of a bill in 72 hours! In any case no congressman or women should be allowed to vote on a bill they have not read and understand completely. Passing a bill to find out what is in it must end!
Since government officials are employees of the people and public officials their salaries should be public knowledge if such knowledge is desired for any legitimate reason. This information must be made available under the FOIA.
It's a start, they also need to make sure they can fire him if he doesn't do anything he promised!

And what if the House passes a bill he promised and it dies in the the Senate? Are you going to blame McCarthy then?

Silly question! Don't you normally blame whoever is responsible? I put the blame where it belongs, if it's McCarthy it's McCarthy......if the senate, it's the senate, the president, the stupid people who vote irresponsibly, etc.

Lets just pray he lives up to what he promised
Good ! The task of imposing term limits will save the Convention Of The States time and effort .
