    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Justin Amash

    What we CAN do, as an exercise in raw power, is not always what we SHOULD do. Parties disciplining their own is what should happen. The majority stripping positions from a disfavored member of the minority for having bad, dangerous ideas is a perilous precedent.https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/1357470084839727105 …

    In short, the whole House put her on those committees, and the whole House can take her off. That’s how the process works, even if tradition is to defer to the preferences of the member’s party.

        Libertarians, socialists, & other oddballs & gadflies & dissenters from the mainstream will be the long-term losers from this precedent.

        Now we almost have to do it to them. This is all McCarthy's fault. He could have removed her and avoided this vote/this precedent.

        What do if The GOP didn't hold their Rep King Standard? Somebody has to be an adult.

        I don’t think I agree with this. Committees and their seats are House institutions, not party institutions. And the House has long been extremely majoritarian with a virtually all-powerful Speaker. Expulsion would break new ground. I don’t think this is that big a deal.

        Still waiting for the Republican this guy will stand up to. Where is the bottom? Sad that so many “conservative” voices have just tapped out.

        I think I agree here. but wasn't this the exact same argument some on the Right made about not nominating and confirming Justice Barret in October?

        Except Amash is recommending a break with precedent.

        Her party was too cowardly to punish her. Of course it wasn’t Republicans she was threatening to shoot.
