Best Name For Judiciary & Rules 9?

I'm trying to settle of a shorthand name for the nine House Republicans who created the need for a special session by voting in the 9-8 majority in the House Judiciary & Rules Committee to kill Child Support Enforcement legislation. The Idaho Statesman suggests "The Nine." Others have suggested the "Idaho Nine" and the "Gang of Nine." What do you think?

Question: What's your shorthand for the nine House Republicans who created the Child Support crisis?
