The group of 20 that refuse to vote for McCarthy. This is all about the "Rules Committee" Right now, the Democrats have made the rules committee toxic in the eyes of this group of 20. The rules committee is controlled by a group of establishment entrenched members that disregard every rule in the House, to get the liberal agenda through and on to the floor for a vote at the last minute. No debate, no time to study the bill, just jammed through at the will of the Speaker .....(Nancy Pelosi)
The Republicans want at least four seats on that Committee. They want control. They want the ability to stop a bill from getting on the floor without proper study by the members. Current example the Omnibus Bill. That would have been stopped in it's tracks because the members did not have time to review before a vote. No debate. They also want the ability to fire McCarthy if he doesn't follow the desire to establish the original rules of the House. It sounds as if McCarthy was conceeding control of the Rules Committee and the Freedom Caucus was dead set against that.
