The way it works is phelan appoints reliable dems to chair committees where important legislation lands. And it stays there and never gets to a floor vote. Another quixotic twist to this is that the senate can look comfortably conservative sending. really tough sounding bills to those committees where they are dead certain will never be heard from again. So we have no real idea just how conservative our senators are as long as phelan and his like rule the roost in the speakers seat

That must be the way the majority in the House wants it or it would not be like that. Congress has always has gatekeepers too. That's the way they like it. TX and the Country suffer.
