Pete Hoekstra has sharply criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's plan to take one of the seats on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence away from Republicans and give it to a Democrat.
The 9/11 Commission recommended the Committee never have more than a one vote majority for the ruling party. In spite of this, the Dems already hold a three seat majority (12 Democrats vs. 9 Republicans). And yet Pelosi wants to increase the influence of Democrats on the Committee.
Hoekstra, who is the top ranking Republican and former chair of the Committee commented "This is a brazen move by Democrats to pack the Intelligence Committee and drive intelligence into a partisan realm."
So much for bi-partisan cooperation.
