Who were they and based on what Constitutional provision?
Did you not read the Supreme Court case I cited?
What provision in the U.S. Constitution allows for a Senator, or Representative to be expelled? I couldn't find one.
Sorry. I found it. You are right, but I don’t think they can do it for conduct prior to being seated.
Sorry. You are correct, but I don’t believe it can be done for conduct prior to being seated as a Senator.
Article I
Section 5. Each House shall be the judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members.
Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a member.
You are the one spouting nonsense. You, yourself, has espoused that they can refuse to seat him. You, yourself, have avowed that he should be abandoned because they can refuse to seat him.
Now, you lie about your own words because it is inconvenient to your cause.
You disgust me.
If you wish to challenge me on this, I can easily add posts of your own words that call the lie to your words.
Nope I never said anything about seating show me which post I said it in otherwise you are a liar
You are disgusting very disgusting you need to be tracked down by the FBI and monitored

Check out your own words, in context, FRiend. You apparently cannot remember your own posts.
Nope, you’re a liar. Never said anything about seating in ANY context, in ANY post on the Moore matter, of which I have made numerous. I have repeatedly argued he had to be seated but could then also be expelled. You are a liar!
No! If the people of Alabama elect him and the senate refuses to seat him Alabama needs to sue the senate and Mcconnell in particular
Your response:
Constitution says Senate makes its own rules. Separation of powers. The judicial branch has no authority to say otherwise.
You were saying you had not addressed the idea of him not being seatable?
You just proved what I said you dummy. Never said anything about seating. Stop lying
In response to a comment about suing over a refusal to seat, you assert that the Senate rules cannot be challenged in court.
If you REALLY want to maintain that your comment did not address refusal to seat (despite not using the word), then be my guest.
Delusions are free.
Seating a Senator is not a Senate rule. I never said it was. The Constitution lays out the requirements for seating a Senator. It also lays out the process and requirements for expulsion. What’s your problem dummy?
I’m not having a problem. Obviously, we rather strongly disagree about the context of your statement in response to the statement about suing if elected and not seated.
I apologize for making it personal (as I recall, I failed to be civil first - something I try not to do, but obviously do not always succeed).
We disagree. Okay. Have a great day FRiend.
Fair enough.
