Which is my original point; it's non-leadership politics of fear.

No better chance now: then why the math? Last time, the Rs, in charge of the rules and committees, said immediately ok Charlie, if you're just making a point, let's put it to a vote. And it lost, 402-2. Thus the point was dismissed.

This time the Ds are in charge of the house rules and committees, which means Rangel can play his game longer than a couple days.
