yank their committee assignments

[ibegurpard]

Yes we can.

[CentralMass]

1. Do it.

[Me.]

2. Don't Think We Can Do That

as I believe each party assigns members. We can censure.

[tritsofme]

3. While technically possible, not a precedent I would care to set.

[ibegurpard]

4. for this?

I'd say it's justified.

[tritsofme]

6. Nope. I don't care to allow Republicans to choose our committee assignments

when Democrats are inevitably in the minority.

[onenote]

5. No we can't

Each party sets its own committee assignments. For example, when Steve King (R-acist Asshole) was stripped of his committee assignments, it was done by the GOP leadership.

7. It's not that we can't, it's that we shouldn't.

The majority could certainly change the rules and accomplish what OP suggests, but it would be a dangerous precedent.

[onenote]

9. There wouldn't be a majority to change the rules in this way

so for all intents and purposes its an impossible ask.

8. Yeah, yank committee assignments and give them a wedgie too.
