Reply #8: One of the compromise proposals I've been hearing... [View All]

to prevent him from defecting to the GOP is to pull him out of the chair of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs (since he does have subpoena powers as chair of that committee, and is likely to use it to harass and undermine the Obama administration) and instead give him the chair of the Small Business Committee.

The Small Business Committee is currently chaired by John Kerry, who's been a solid Democrat and earned himself a chair of a more prestigious committee, and is up to move anyways, and by giving Joe that chair, we place him somewhere where he's mostly harmless, but still has a chair, which is something the GOP can't offer him.

Sounds like a good way of keeping that douchenozzle from fleeing to the GOP while still giving him a well-deserved rebuke for all the shit he's pulled, and keeping him on a tight leash.
