    Because anyone without 50 years of seniority won’t have the pull to get those sweet, sweet, pork barrel projects.

      Committee assignment is via seniority. So yes, they can add shit to bills, but they can also do so much more.

      For assholes like Grassley, that equates to being able to do a lot of damage.
