Kamala Harris to keep seat on Judiciary Committee

[Wingnut]

What happens to Spartacus?


Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) will remain on the Judiciary Committee next year as Democratic leadership negotiates with Republicans over who will sit on Senate panels starting in January.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced on Tuesday that Democrats had successfully secured Harris's seat on the panel, which has given her a high-profile perch ahead of a potential 2020 White House bid.

"As a former prosecutor, [Harris] has strived every day for a more fair judicial system for all Americans. I’m proud that we successfully fought to keep her seat on the Senate Judiciary Committee," Schumer said in a tweet.

A source familiar with negotiations said Schumer made keeping Harris on the panel a "top priority" and that none of the 10 Democrats who currently sit on the panel will lose their seat. Republicans currently have 11 seats on the committee.

This is total bullshit. We own the Senate and the Rats are to give up one of those seats. What exactly did we get in return for rolling over for this dirty child molesting faggot Schumer? Probably nothing.
