someome peed on chamber chairs?
I am trying to find something neutral in the way of podcasts which relate the going ons in the Tennessee chamber. My bias going in before I hash out details is that no one is playing with a full deck oh honesty — the to be expelled would be less than honest in assessing their disruption of the chambers for the fact that they can’t get their way — the expulsers to be apt to take a wide berth on their crimes. And maybe the fact that two have been expelled and another not suggests the middle, such as it is, can detect nuances on merely obnoxious behavior versus actionable ones. Unless it is a bias on what race acts beyond unruly and ring leads the disruption.
As it were, I am stuck needing to push Democracy Now aside and the Tennessee MAGA blogger out. Maybe I can return to them after reading a few AP articles. The comments section to various magazines of political opinion are also useless, as we skip to a “What about the Jan 6ers” and “Republican heckling at the SOTU!”. As if… They don’t suck too? That is not what I want to know details about when looking for the details of state legislators leading an angry protest during a legislative session.
So… nteresting political fight in Tennessee.
We had a child molester on the floor for years, they helped him get reelected and did nothing to expel him,” Johnson said. “We’ve had members pee in each other’s chairs. We’ve had members illegally prescribe drugs to their cousin-mistress, and nothing happened. But talk on the floor without permission, and you’ll get expelled.”
Due process. Also it’s kind of that thing on why Pete Rose may not be in the Baseball Hall of Fame and, say, OJ Simpson is in the Football Hall of Fame — the integrity of the game as opposed to outside crimes. Maybe you object to the procedural niceties, or think they should be scuttled because you think you are just in the right and they are just that much in the wrong on the issue — but some disagree.
