McCarty bargained with the devil to get his position and the devil will claim his due.

Also not my strong suit but I believe there are 13 committee members; 9 Republicans and 4 Democrats. The problem for McCarthy is that he needs 7 Republicans out of the 9 to vote for it. If he has 3 then the 4 Dems will vote for it and he effectively will have shunned the crazy caucus and sided with moderate Democrats and a few Republicans. Dark Brandon appears to own McCarthy now as it looks like he'll need Dems to vote for him to remain speaker. Crazy times.
