    The linked thread by Costa is a good read, I’m starting with the Glassman one as it contains another useful nugget.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      Good threads.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I wonder if the new speaker will tear his copy of the State of the Union address into a million pieces, for all to see.

            You gotta wonder what the holdouts are trying to accomplish other than promote schism and bad blood.

            Do they have a "better" alternative? If so who?

            Why haven't they made that person publicly known.

            How do they think this will play out?

              Maybe they want last minute concessions?

              Maybe they want him to enter in a weakened, embarrassed state?

              Maybe they want to nominate Trump?

              Maybe they just want to preen for their audience?

              Maybe some combination of the above?

                All possible. Any of them likely other than #1 and #4?

                What concessions would they be seeking?

                  @George-K I think rules and investigative committees and assignments.
