That is a serious threat which will be an ineffective as similar threats. 2008 has gone by the board. The question is can we get anything going by 2012? We can’t even stop going to the movies to support the writers. Should be something to ponder.

Don’t be fooled by that ‘D’ after Reid’s name. His party is called the Status Quo, and he acts accordingly every time.

If they like, Reid and Pelosi can appoint only immunity-opposing Senators to that committee and win the vote.

In the Senate, committee formation is a debatable/negotiable proposition. And obtaining agreement to create a conference committee involves negotiating how that committee will be populated.

I haven’t researched the formation of conference committee from the House Rules side.
