Several pro-Tea Party Congressmen have found themselves purged from committee assignments by the GOP leadership. 

On Monday, Arizona Republican David Schweikert was removed from the House Financial Services Committee while Kansas Republican Tim Huelskamp and Michigan Republican Justin Amash were removed from the House Budget Committee.

This certainly doesn’t inspire confidence. If Boehner and Cantor see fit to exile pro-Tea Party Congressmen then is it any wonder why the Obama Administration feels emboldened enough to demand complete and unconditional surrender from the House GOP?
