Democrat Kamala Harris could lose seat on Senate Judiciary Committee, report says

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Reducing the size of the 21-member Senate Judiciary Committee is reportedly among the actions being considered by Senate Republicans as they prepare for the next Congress.

If that happens, Sen. Kamala Harris of California -- a high-profile Democrat who is considered a possible candidate for her party’s 2020 presidential nomination -- could be left off the panel, according to a report.

That’s because the first-term senator is the judiciary committee’s most junior member, and would be among the first to go if the panel is downsized, the Washington Post reported.

But some Democrats are reportedly scrambling to find a way to keep Harris on the committee, the report said. The ideas include negotiating with Republicans -- who maintained control of the chamber after this month's midterm elections -- to keep the committee at 21 members, or convincing a more senior Democrat to step aside.

She's too damned effective. I remember when she grilled the Keebler cracker in one hearing.

1. McConnell will do anything to further his power.

If Mitch is not the most corrupt Senate Leader in history, I would like to know who is.

2. Somebody's scared.

10. Harris has distinguished herself, and Repubs are justifiably nervous.

Her poise and incisiveness have been nothing short of extraordinary, especially in questioning of Jeff Sessions and Judge Kavanaugh.

3. Congratulations Sen. Harris

You're making them nervous and they don't want to give you any more face time.

My guess if they go through with this a more senior dem will step down.

4. Why else would the Repuglicans want to reduce the size of the Jud.Com.? Harris has a voice.

Way too smart for those old cabbage heads.

just as they are doing with Pelosi. I have confidence in them they know what they are doing. This is why I vote with our Democratic establishment.

14. Our old fogey stogies

The Senate Judiciary Committee is the tip of the sword in our fight to stop Trump and we need our best and brightest. We should keep two or three senior members for procedural experience and wisdom, but we need our sharpness tools in the tool box. It should be crystal clear...Rs are afraid of her...afraid of her Gender, Race, and Legal Knowledge...we need to keep her.
