I'm not issuing any warnings to you or anyone. Its the racists whites in Tennessee that used the force of law to remove Black advocates as they did in the past to other advocates marching and sitting at counter tops decades past. This racism is blatant and will backfire as poorly today as it did back then.I don't live in Tennessee, I'm not doing anything, nor am I issuing warnings to anonymous internet keyboard jockeys that I'm watching them. That would be you. I would be the one pointing out to everyone your apparent desire to take the law into your own hands over political differences. It is to shake my head sadly at you.
Yep, and right in the middle of a legislative session led by a member wif he's bull horn. Lawd amercy, Rastus!PROTESTS AND RALLYS ARE ALLOWED, ITS PART OF FREE SPEECH.
Wouldn't it be proper to invite the mistreated brother to a Saturday night Klan meeting to address his complaints?I'm not issuing any warnings to you or anyone.

Should not does not count. It was their purview. The rules of conduct are high in the chamber for the elected members than for the public at large. It has to be or else nothing gets done, on the whim of individuals at any time. Those jerks won't be missed. I suppose they can run again, but if elected, they will know to maintain their self discipline, if they expect to represent their constituents on the house floor. If you were an employee in civilian work, you'd probably get fired for bringing a bull to the board room to shout down the other supervisory/management staff, but at a later date, you might apply and get your old job back, but know your limits in the office.---------------------------------------------------------
They may prosper, time will tell.
But it should not have been the purview of the Tennessee House to eject them for a 'disturbance' limited to just that body.
Censure them? Oh sure. Fine 'em? Oh sure.
Take away committee assignments? Oh, sure.
Give 'em uncomfortable chairs or signal in many myriad ways the body's unhappiness with their actions? Why not?
But....importantly, the House members didn't elect these two men to their positions. The people of their districts did. And the most legitimate way to remove them is to vote them out.
I ain't a Tennessean, but......but this was handle badly for Tennessee. Forget the nuance of the white legislator having better manners than the two black legislators. The reality is....they are black. She is white. She stays. They go.
Hell yes, optics matter.
Tennessee looks bad....or, at minimum, the Tennessee House looks, at minimum, racist.
That's like calling civil rights protesters sitting at a counters trying to get service, thugs and aggitators. We have the video you bigots. We see you.
Security in public schools and metal detecting equipment has been addressed and recently went into many schools in TN and here where I live in Madison County. Since the recent mass shooting event legislation is underway to look at some kind of grants or low interest financing that might be extended to larger private and church related schools, but remember state funds do not generally support privately owned schools in this state or any other.All three are morons
Why cant schools get the same police protection that judges and mayors get?
The same limited access doors, metal detectors and armed police who search everyone before entering?
What are the odds of them being reelected by large margins in the Special Election? Fairly good, I'd imagine. I mean, it was the will of the people that the house thwarted here, right?It is a bad look...stripping them of all committee positions and Censuring them might have been the better move.They will probably prosper in Tennessee or elsewhere, but two of them will not prosper in our House of Representatives, after proving they have no respect for the dignity of that chamber, by their actions to disrupt.
What's going to happen is his district is going to send him right back. Like much of GOP politics not only is it ineffectual, its poor messaging. All they really accomplished was getting themselves compared to Bull Connor, if you can call that an accomplishment.Wouldn't it be proper to invite the mistreated brother to a Saturday night Klan meeting to address his complaints?
Amen! I've been watching it all day.

Until tonight, I didn't know that the KKK originated in Tennessee by former confederate soldiers.
Next time, have security Babbitt 'em.
The lib gun grabbers are using the shooting in a private school to pass laws that take guns away from everyoneSecurity in public schools and metal detecting equipment has been addressed and recently went into many schools in TN and here where I live in Madison County.

You actually believe that debunked BS? Lulz.
Have another drink.
The Myth of the Republican-Democrat 'Switch'
The entire country is pointing at Tennessee, ringing a bell and chanting "Shame!".
Each state house has certain rules. If you break them, you can be expelled. This isn't difficult to comprehend.
At least one is from Memphis, it is quite possible, especially if they don't mind the fact that their actions cost those particular taxpayers the financial and actual work and logistics of mounting a special election, when they could have acted as they were supposed to, instead of like assholes on a political internet message board, trying to rule the room, until somebody calls the Mods.What are the odds of them being reelected by large margins in the Special Election?

But you're right. It is your Monkey House--run it as you see fit~

They will be voted back in. That's part of the process that the expulsion doesn't ban them from running again.
Sounds a little like a President that we all know.
