Tennessee House Republicans Welcome Back Those They Expelled The Tennessee House Majority Leader and the Republican Caucus Chairman issued this statement hours after Justin Jones was reappointed. "Should any expelled member be reappointed, we will welcome them." Those advocating for a rules...

That's right. A party line vote is not in itself a racist vote. What makes it a racist vote is what was voted on and the outcome. So you and others say. But there is another opinion also being voiced these days, and it seems to have some credibility as shown by the expelled representatives...

The Tennessee Protests are Having an Effect Republican governor impliments certain gun control measures and asks legislature for more. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/11/tennessee-governor-bill-lee-red-flag-law-background-checks-00091404

It's not a pesky detail. It's made up fake news. Johnson has been steadfast, consistent and fully aligned with the other two. Whether she held the bullhorn or not as she stood with the others is insignificant hair splitting. And she showed no contrition. She openly refused to apologize.

No. Not right. That woman has stood frequently and in solidarity with the two black men. That does not change the result. As a body, the House cast a racist vote. She is saying nothing different from what she said before. Her message is consistent.

Yes, the zip code complaint once again. But it does not matter, does it? The case is still going to trial and what the court says goes. We're seeing similar zip code complaints about the Texas court abortion pill ruling. As with the Dominion case, an appeals process exists to rectify any wrongs...

I'm not left. I'm a centrist. And, no, everything is not racist to me. On the record racist comments made by white lawmakers are proof of racism. The vote that expelled two blacks and retained one white for the same offense was a manifestation of that racism. If you're looking for an idiot in...

If the matter was as trivial as your "so what?" implies, it would not be in court now. And as often happens in this forum, the issue is not what you say it is. The issue is Fox News defamed Dominion. We know that's the issue because the lawsuit names that as the issue.

The white lawmaker, Gloria Johnson, who survived the expulsion vote was asked why she survived when the two black men were expelled. She said, "I'll answer your question; it might have to do with the color of our skin." Additionally, the two who were expelled said it was a racist vote. Further...

It's not a false claim. It was a racist vote that prompted outrage because it was racist.

Tennessee Young Voter Turnout According to this source, young voter turnout in Tennessee was 13% in 2022. It will be interesting to see if that number changes in 2024. We do not yet know what the long-term impact, if any, will be of the shootings, school walkouts, capitol demonstrations...

If a local or state DA knows of crimes Biden committed in their jurisdictions, and if those crimes are not being investigated/prosecuted by other agencies that have jurisdiction, they should go after him hard.

That tracks if you assume the House leadership is always right. But when an entity of any kind is perceived to be wrong and perceived to be abusing its power, people tend to rebel. That's what happened in the American Revolution and in many subsequent events when people took to the streets. And...

The Trial is On Jury selection begins tomorrow (Thursday 4/13/23). It is quite amazing that Fox has not yet settled. It is not common that media defamation cases get this far. They are usually settled before they get to trial. Fox did settle a related case a few days ago. A businessman...

I don't think the suit names Carlson as a plaintiff in this case. Carlson is a witness. The question you ask is not something Dominion or the court is asking or trying to prove. In other words, the question you ask is not pertinant to the case. Carlson will testify not about what he said on the...

Fox and its Board Sued by Shareholder The first shareholder suit (derivative action) was filed against Fox Corp. yesterday. The plaintiff cites the fiduciary duty the board has to protect shareholder interests. He says, “The Board’s decision to chase viewers by promoting the false stolen...

Jurisdictional issues apply in America. In the filing, Bragg said, “In sum, Congress lacks any valid legislative purpose to engage in a free-ranging campaign of harassment in retaliation for the District Attorney’s investigation and prosecution of Mr. Trump under the laws of New York,” the...

So you say, but I expect the court will say different.

It is something to think about. I doubt that the drafters of the original state constitution contemplated the scenario we see played out today. Can you see them asking in one of their document drafting meetings, "what if the House expels a member on a party line vote and that member's local...

What Are TN Republicans Saying? I've been talking a lot about the Democratic developments after the TN House expulsion vote. The Republicans are talking and acting too. "In a Friday fundraising email, the Tennessee GOP said: 'Their adolescence and immature behavior brought dishonor to the...
