GOP Rep. Mike Lawler won't support Scalise and thinks McCarthy may yet return as speaker candidate — "The Takeout"

The disorganized House Republican conference has plunged the House into a "constitutional crisis" or paralysis and drift, said Rep. Mike Lawler, Republican of New York.

"We're paralyzed," Lawler told CBS News on this week's episode of "The Takeout." "A constitutional crisis. What is happening in Israel, obviously, Congress is going to need to act. Which we cannot do without a speaker. We need to elect a speaker and right now, nobody has a path to 217."

That's the number of votes a candidate for speaker would need to prevail when the full House votes to elect a speaker.
