Carl Levin is next in line for the Homeland Security Committee

[Renew Deal]

I think it will work.


***Sorry, I thought I was replying to another thread.

1. What committee?

[kwolf68]

2. Homeland Security?

?

[WeDidIt]

3. Homeland Security and Government Affairs

Lieberman's committee. You know, the one where he never held ANY HEARINGS on FUCKING KATRINA!!!!

[Barack_America]

4. But he already chairs the Armed Services Committee.

[Mass]

5. Who's next. Levin has already a chairmanship.

[Renew Deal]

7. Akaka. But he chairs Veteran affairs. Then Carper

Democrat
Joseph I. Lieberman Chairman (ID) (CT)
Carl Levin (MI)
Daniel K. Akaka (HI)
Thomas R. Carper (DE)
Mark L. Pryor (AR)
Mary L. Landrieu (LA)
Barack Obama (IL)
Claire McCaskill (MO)

9. Something else that's interesting. That committee is losing A LOT of members.

Obama
John Warner
Stevens (probably)
Sununu
Possibly Coleman

That's 25%+ of the membership

6. Here's an idea -- just eliminate the DHS altogether and re-redistribute its tasks back...

... to the original government departments.

8. Nope..... It will go to Sen. Daniel Kahikina Akaka

Levin is next in line but has too many committees to handle this one too.

[Renew Deal]

10. Is that definite?

Because Akaka runs veteran affairs.

11. From the news feed I found yesterday it was stated

that he was next in line according to aides to both Levin and Akaka.

Good news for us no matter who finally gets it. Lieberman refused to do oversight
of Homeland security which is one of the jobs of his committee.
