I agree with this specific instance and premise. But, assuming this is a legitimate, voter elected, member of congress it would aet an interesting and potentially volatile precedent.TraditionKU wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 7:54 am house member from cali (i think) is submitting formal proposal to have her removed from congress

Yes. I just don't think the framework in place ever had a plan for how to deal with people who just constantly and unapologetically lie, believe lies, ignore facts, and argue from that standpoint.TDub wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 11:50 amI agree with this specific instance and premise.

This is already happening; take the false-equivalencies being drawn between MTG and AOC.ousdahl wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 12:15 pm While it may be a slippery precedent, there’s also the risk of not setting a precedent about taking a stand against her particular bullshit.
But next thing you know, gop lawmakers will be removing Dems cuz of the mustard they put on their burger, and crying BOTH SIDES DO IT if anyone questions
I am OK with a precedent of "if you have even publicly called for the execution of Congress members that you not be allowed to be a Congress member".
Yes. As stated such. It still sets a precendent unless you can include that specific language/action in the dismissal hearing.....i admittedly dont know how the process works for removing a congressman/woman but its been proven that anything that can be used/construed as a precedent for ones advantage will be used.
I dont suspect that the party that treated Trump as their King has a tipping point.jeepinjayhawk wrote: ↑Thu Jan 28, 2021 6:57 pm Would you agree that working with a President while attempting a coup should disqualify someone from serving in Congress?
Or, calling for the murder of an elected official?
I mean, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST...what exactly IS the tipping point?
