The Tennessee House of Representatives is scheduled to vote Thursday on removing from office three Democratic lawmakers who protested on the chamber floor with a bullhorn to call for gun reform following last month's school shooting in Nashville — and now are accused of breaking House rules.

We can't allow Jan 6 to become some sort of example for behavior in our legislative halls.
This has been going on much longer than Jan 6. This happened during Scott Walker's administration in Madison, and everyone shrugged - mostly peaceful protest, don'tcha know.
I'm glad they're making it a FAFO moment. Rules is rules.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

This is my week for discovering that I don't know as much as I thought I knew.
Forget what I said.

An answerable question. Someone(s) voted to expel the two without voting to expel the third. What were their reasons?
They came up one vote short on the white gal. If they were going to chunk them, chunk all three.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Yeah, that's a bad look, to be sure, unless her behavior was "less bad" than the others'.

@Axtremus you noticed, LOL.
And Barry doubles down:
"What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress."
