One of the 3 Democrats in Tennessee in protest is allowed to keep his seat (the only white one)

[ColonelAngus]

I didn't say she did. She did join in with the other two in interrupting the proceedings. The bullhorn was little more than an excuse.

Again. What happened to simple facts. Now you are opining.

Stop it.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Those members will probably be voted back into the House.

However, all 3 deserved to be expelled. They violated rules. Activists aceept consequences for their actions.

But they were not.

 

[sartre play]

Will they be voted back? That would be telling, are actual voters running things, or is it a hand full of politicians?

Why don't you try joining the rest of us in this century?

I’m a constitutional conservative, I would never join those trying to destroy that.

 

[ColonelAngus]

But they were not.

The ***** should have been thrown out to. They should have been prosecuted for trespassing just like everyone on J6.

I watched the proceedings. None of them were contrite. **** em.

But the white guys just couldn't bring themselves around to it.

You have your false narrative. Funny how you abandoned your fake principles of SIMPLE FACTS.

Why are you so hell bent on screaming RACIST?! It Is lazy as ****.

There are plenty of black members of the Tennessee House that did not break the rules for over a hundred years.

What I stated was fact. Three people protested. Two black men and one white woman. The two black men were booted but the white woman was not.

Now I have to say I am somewhat surprised that they didn't want to take it out on a woman doing a mans job but I guess there has been a small amount of progress in Tennessee.

Those are 'facts' the same way that Tucker Carlson reported the 'facts' of Jan 6th.

How you curate those facts matters a **** ton.

 

[FA_Q2]

I don’t think you’ll have to worry, I think this was a one off. I’ve claimed for a long time that the repubs don’t have the balls to play the same game the dems do. The left could retaliate if they wanted to, and I think the Republican congressmen would just sit there and take it.

Except that is not evidenced by anything in politics for at least the last 12 years.

You are living a pipe dream here, this is not how politics have worked for over a decade.

Tennessee Constitution.

Sec 27. Any member of either House of the general Assembly, shall have liberty to dissent from, and protest against, any act or resolve which he may think injurious to the public or to any individual, and to have the reasons for his dissent entered on the journals.

Do the elected members not know their own Constitution?

You are living a pipe dream here, this is not how politics have worked for over a decade.

Except if you look at just the last 7 years, you’ll see that the dems have been in constant attack mode, and the repubs just sit in their hands. Remember all that talk of impeaching Biden…well the repubs have the house..and where are they? Still sitting on their hands.

Justin Pearson reinstated. So both members have been reinstated and will likely win their seat back in the special election.

Thousands of Christians are calling for the resignation of Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton, a Republican, who sparked national outrage for heading a vote that expelled two Black lawmakers earlier this month.

A Christian group has amassed more than 12,000 signatures to oust the Tennessee Republican leader who expelled two Black lawmakers

Well this helps explain a lot here.

While the expulsion of Jones and his colleague, Justin J. Pearson, riveted the nation’s attention, a curious and related event in the Legislature’s other branch, the Tennessee Senate, passed nearly unnoticed.

On Feb. 3, 2023, two state senators issued a formal proclamation commemorating April 2023 as Confederate History Month and encouraging “all Tennesseans to increase their knowledge of this momentous era in the history of this State.”

White Tennessee lawmakers speak out for insurrection in honoring Confederate history

Tennessee politicians still clamoring for the days of the COnfederacy.
