House Speaker Ongoing Melodrama

[CJD]

What I find truly fascinating about this is that Gaetz' justification for this ousting is that McCarthy voted with Democrats to pass the bill to keep the lights on, but in order for this ousting to be successful, Gaetz will be required to vote with Democrats.

If the Democrats do not choose to oust McCarthy, there's no way he will be removed. So wouldn't Gaetz immediately violate the same basis for which he is using as justification to remove McCarthy?

Maybe he'll vote to remove himself shortly thereafter.

That would require some ideological consistency though... but we know Gaetz has none of that.
