‘Onslaught Of Attacks’: House Dems Push To Oust Aging Committee Leaders Following Election Defeat

The Democratic Party is shaking up its committee leadership in the House of Representatives following its crushing November election defeat.

Despite failing to take back a majority, Democrats have retained their top leadership in the House of Representatives, tapping House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Whip Katherine Clark and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar to stay on in their current roles. Meanwhile, the knives have come out at the committee level, with a slew of Democratic representatives launching bids against more senior panel members for top committee posts.

Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, 61, mounted a challenge against Democratic New York Rep. Jerry Nadler, 77, for the top role on the House Judiciary Committee on Dec. 2, with Nadler ultimately dropping out of the race Wednesday amid a surge of support for his younger opponent.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

That's too bad.  With old duffers around we could count on the democrats beating an already dead horse for a long time.  The problem is it opens the door go the ilk of AOC.

What's the over/under's for how many times Raskin will attempt to impeach Trump and how many investigations into Trump will he demand?

As far as the remainder of octogenarians and septuagenarians in Congress, work your magic, osteoporosis and gravity.

It seems mental cognition is not a requirement to be, or to remain, a member of Congress.
