He is going to be very bored without any committee assignments. But I guess he can count this as a “win” if he wants. Since the Republicans definitely run the show there, I have no doubt that he is going to be very much ignored from now on.
The Democrat controlled council reappointed him and that is the Republicans fault somehow?
Yes! FIGHT BACK! Screw the evil rats!!! FOR ONCE damn stupid reps be imaginative and screw the bastard evil RATS!! FIGHT!
The Council be dammed. They are not superior in authority to the State legislature. Refuse to allow the ousted legislators entry to chambers. Enforce that order with arrest and detention if they attempt to violate it.
The Democrats have destroyed the rule of law. They can no longer claim protection under law. We are fools to continue playing that game.
And cut every dollar of State funding to the city of Nashville.
why isn’t he in jail along with the J6 protesters?
and if it’s ok for representatives to bring blow horns and simply force their way to the floor and blast their opinions whenever they wish, then I think every Republican should start doing this!!!
“So in the end this was just for show.
Typical Republicans.”
Hey...at least Justin Jones avoided the notorious “strongly worded letter” from the Republicans.
Jones is probably dancing a jig.
Oops...wrong word.
One state rep flipped their vote on the white lady, allowing her back in, which then screamed RACISSS !!! for expelling 2 blacks.
Bullshit, but that’s what it looks like big time. A lose, lose for Rs.
Non-violent ? Whut ?
What violent acts did he commit during the protest? Who was injured?
This little psychopath, Jones, is a trained Marxist who carpetbagged in from Berkeley to try to upend and bring chaos to Nashville/Tennessee politics. He assaulted a member of the legislature before he was elected and remarkably faced no charges for his actions. What he attempted to do in the State Capitol was nothing short of attempting a violent Marxist mob action to take control.
Because his party is basically irrelevant in numbers, he knows he cannot achieve anything except by force. He does not believe he has to abide by the rules of decorum, or any rules beyond what he sets. He is not there to achieve anything except promoting insurrection, he is not there to solve problems or seek any sort of solutions by “democratic” means, except where that means mob violence.
He attempted to do exactly what the media falsely and slanderously accused the so-called January 6th “insurrectionists”, except he has the full and complete support of the media and other leftist subversives. If you don’t think the mob-attempted overthrow of a legitimate elective body is not violent or injurious, sir, you are sadly mistaken. He does not even see the TN legislature as a legitimate body, he has denounced its members in libelous and vile terms. As I’ve stated, he is a Marxist Revolutionary on par with Castro, Kim, Guevera, Lenin, Pol Pot, Ho, and other criminal psychotic despotic degenerates.
He and his co-conspirators should’ve been summarily charged with a multitude of criminal activities, starting with a bona fide act of insurrection. Sadly, the Republican party get cowed into standing idly by whenever the “racist” word gets thrown in their direction.
Fourteenth AmendmentThe class, defined above to explicitly include State legislators, when engaging in "insurrection or rebellion against", or giving "aid or comfort to the enemies of" the US Constitution is barred from holding that office. The left doesn't like it, but the 2nd IS part of the US Constitution and their actions could well be described as "insurrection or rebellion against", or giving "aid or comfort to the enemies of" the 2nd. So by the text of 14th §3 the TN 3 merit permanent removal from all offices under the US. Any TN state law or part of the TN constitution to the contrary would be superseded by this.
Sect. 3 No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.Sect. 5 The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
The only question is whether the US Congress, under 14th §5, has provided any active law to enforce this or whether through the last sentence of 14th §3 they removed all such enforcing legislation sometime after ratification. The left has repeatedly tried to use their J6 claims as a vehicle for barring GOP candidates via 14th §3 and wishes to apply that to President Trump. So the question is important to both sides and the specific language of remaining active enforcement legislation, if any, determines whether the left, or the right, can apply this to their opponents.
Honestly tn state house gop are pretty solid relatively speaking
