A superb piece, Mr. Alter — as always. My worry about the five-member margin and discharge petitions, however, is that House Republicans, even the misnomered "moderates," tend to toe the party line out of primary fears. It will tough to get enough of them to join the Democrats.
This fine report seems to be the setting of a story we all (!) remember as the Book of Joshua - with Hakeem Jeffries in the title role. 'It's the Israelites vs. the Canaanites! Be there to see the blood, the gore, the smash-mouth combat! Two solid years of tingling tension and brutal battle - all for the low, low price of a slim Republican majority. Tune in, turn on, drop your disbelief!'
Sadly, quite a contrast to your hopeful tone in your last column. I think the deplorables will file a motion to vacate sooner than one month. Church Committee?!!!! How is that even legal? Canada is looking better and better although, as Samantha Bee once said, "Canada doesn't want you!"

hard to 'like' this but truth is good medicine
