Senate Dems want Justice Department probe on 'Tennessee Three'

after Jones and Pearson joined activists in interrupting a House floor session to call for gun control after the Nashville School Shooting.: “I can imagine a scenario in which the two legislators bring cases citing constitutional claims, but I think that those claims turn upon these really difficult questions of fact about the reasons for the expulsion,” constitutional law professor Aziz Huq told the Washington Post.

Democratic leaders believe the path to winning back the House is by pushing messaging that Republicans do not respect election results. “Our democracy is under attack. These right wing extremists can never be trusted,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said on Thursday.

They were voted out democratically by votes for 'representing' their districts with a bullhorn, a mob and threats of violence. Yes, worth looking into the threats of violence and lack of decorum. Only totalitarians want to investigate the democratic process of their expulsion.

Hate, racism and weaponizing of govt can’t just be swept under the rug and go away. Actions need to have consequences, even if they are reversed due to pol pressure.

Put Senate Dems through impeachment proceedings for supporting sedition! That’s how this works now, right

Hey Dems, take the “W” and move on. Let this all sit there as it is. Nothing else is required.

Hmmm behavior disorderly

So, let's get them started by investigating Pelosi kicking MGT off committee assignments and not seating real Republicans on the J6 Committee, eh? First in, first out.

You mean those insurrectionists?

The engagement you’re receiving is pathetic and I love it

They should be treated like the J6 protesters. Lock them up and throw away the key

Great idea! Tennessee GOP should not violate Constitutional rights of Black people in Tennessee. It is unconstitutional!

Read the Tennessee State Constitution. It's all in there.

And what happens when the party roles are reversed?

Maybe DOJ can investigate their insurrection while they're at it, or when he threw hot coffee on lawmakers, or when Oregon Democrats did it to a Republican for the exact same reason.

so weird how this wasn't an issue when dems did it to a republican in Oregon in 2020. i guess when the only tool you have is a hammer right?

Lol

Shocking how a standard application of the law becomes a civil rights inquiry, and Axios is there to uncritically take the Democrats side. I'm glad there are other sources of news.

Senate Democrats push Chief Justice John Roberts to investigate Justice Clarence Thomas' trips with GOP donorDemocrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are urging Chief Justice John Roberts to open an investigation into luxury trips Justice Clarence Thomas accepted from a GOP megadonor over the years and did not disclose to the public.

Someone might want to check the other 5 Republican appointed Justices.
