Jordan being on the committee does not mean he can sabotage it. He's one person with very little power.

He was on the House Judiciary Committee and didn't sabotage the impeachment.

We need to stop looking for ways to complain that this process or that process won't be perfect. No process will be perfect and in a divided government, there is no way to move forward without some Republican involvement.
