Newest round, only two nominated - McCarthy and Jeffries

Biggs just defected, waiting on Boebert. Lauren defected as well.

I'm watching Brian Tyler Cohen and he says two more defections and McCarthy won't win.

Now three defections and BTC says McCarthy can afford one more defection and still win.

McCarthy Proposes Gutting Ethics Watchdog in Bid for Speaker

McCarthy proposed hamstringing the Office of Congressional Ethics as it faces calls to investigate lawmakers involved in the Jan. 6 attack

time.com

First, he agreed to change the rules so you only need 5 votes to call for the ouster of the speaker, thus guaranteeing he will always capitulate to the crazy caucus. He does anything they don't like and we are right back here again. And again. And again. But what is it they are looking for? Surely committee assignments weren't enough to make such a display?

Not:

But buried in the text was another provision that could be highly consequential for the new Congress being sworn in on Tuesday: language that would effectively gut the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), as the independent panel faces pressure to investigate lawmakers who participated in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

If you are afraid of the consequences of breaking the law the only better position to be in than being able to change the law is to be in a position to punish the people who have the power to punish you.
