“Then get your fucking ass out of here,” Johnson would say. And Johnson let them know it.Estes Kefauver, for example, had been trying for four years to get on the Foreign Relations Committee or the Policy Committee (making, in regard to the Policy Committee, the argument, strong in traditional Senate terms, that Tennessee had historically had, in McKellar, a Policy seat), and Johnson had always told him in the past that these selections were determined by the Steering Committee.
Two years earlier, Lyndon Johnson had gently slipped a bit between the teeth of the Democratic senators who had once been committee chairmen, and who would be chairmen again, so gently that the chairmen had hardly noticed it was there, and the reins attached to it had been kept loose.
Johnson would turn away so that he wouldn’t be facing them, so that they couldn’t become part of the group.

Added to the Johnson Rule now was another factor—one which did indeed prove that Johnson ruled.HE WAS ACQUIRING NEW POWERS, too—and using them with little restraint.The Democrats’ recapture of majority status gave the party more patronage slots to distribute, and that meant more work for its Patronage Committee.
The time for feuding was over; it was time for a deal. Performance Performance
“A Senator cannot be recognized unless time is yielded to him by one of the Senators having control,” the Senate Rules state. Dark times have come to Hogwarts.
Performance The nearby small town of Johnson City, Texas, was named after LBJ's father's cousin, James Polk Johnson, whose forebears had moved west from Georgia. And the consequence is a brew of anger and frustration that has fuelled populist protest, with the triumph of Brexit and election of Donald Trump.
