Jamie Raskin elected top Democrat on Judiciary Committee

Raskin won unanimously after 77-year-old ranking member Jerry Nadler withdrew his reelection bid.

For some reason I always thought these committee spots were doled out by the speaker or minority leader (whichever one applies to the party in a given session). I didn’t realize they had elections for them. Congrats to Raskin, he’s a true champion of #democracy!
