Pelosi on TV at the moment, and appears to be calling for expulsion of all `147 or so House reps who objected to the states' certifications.

It's happened in the past. Might happen again.

We always say different things “mean civil war”, but this WOULD lead to civil war. It truly is Casus Belli. If our representatives cannot even argue our case in the legislature, then force is the only option left.

[mtrott]

Umm, seems very fascist and undemocratic of Petty Pelosi to me. Shouldn’t the district’s voters make the decision to remove Cawthorn, or any other representative?

[patriot torch]

This isn’t going to end well.

[Army Air Corps]

This is soooo unifying.

[mrsmel]

Sedition this, sedition that-it’s so cute when they learn a new word.

[econjack]

Seems to me they just want to run roughshod over what the people voted for. Screw what you voters want...this is what WE want!

So he runs again and wins, and returns to Congress 3x stronger.

Just damn, it’s 1861 all over again.

This would be good for us. Bring it.

All the Democrats mentioned in this article are seditious.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Do it. No patriot should be sitting in this treasonous, criminal, seditious Stalinazi Satanist circus. Even one patriot lends it the credibility and legitimacy it doesn’t have.

Set up a new government with free citizens elsewhere with the legitimate President Trump.

This demon is pushing for a hot civil war....
It just might get it too....

[Flick Lives]

I grow weary of fighting these people. They pull the rope one way.we pull it the other. Sometimes it’s best to let go.

OK, just so everyone knows. The House or Senate can vote to expel a member, but it takes 2/3rds majority. So, that’s not going to happen. An expelled House member can run for the seat he or she was just expelled from. (Senators are usually replaced by state governors).

Adam Clayton Powell (D-Harlem NY) was expelled for taking bribes. He was promptly re-elected and the House refused to seat him, but SCOTUS said they had to.

So expulsion from the House is just a waste of time for everyone involved. However, time spent on expulsion attempts will keep the House from other things, which might be a blessing.

Article 1 Section 5 “ Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.” No one is getting expelled. It would take 290 votes in the House. The 147 alone would be enough to block any expulsion.

Nanzi is trying to disenfranchise voters? Shocking!

[DoodleDawg]

Takes 291 votes to expel a member of the House. Good luck with that one.

Well that's not likely to happen. If every other Repub decided to betray their party here again, they have 288 votes to kick them out. Unfortunately, 2/3 of the House would be 290 votes, so she'd need to convince/bribe/blackmail at least two of these guys to vote to kick themselves out.
