    Yep, that was a “we have you by the balls” requirement to ensure that there could easily get rid of McCarthy if he did anything that the fringe right didn’t like. It’s not a rule that is helpful for getting work done, but those clowns don’t care about that. The next speaker should get rid of it, it’s dumb.

      It’s not like McCarthy thought it was a great idea. It was that he didn’t have a choice. It was either that or he wasn’t going to be the speaker.
