By design? Can you tell us more? Serious question respectfully asked. I have been thinking for a long time about the political, cultural and racial divide you and I both see; and I have yet to come up with a theory that satisfactorily explains this shift, which has taken place over the last...

Accusing someone of racism, as you and I have both done in this thread, requires one to know the motives of the accused, or as one Tennessee legislator said, to know what's in the hearts and minds of those who cast the vote. We cannot know that so we make a determination and rely on that. In...

So, are you saying the Tennessee House Republicans failed to uphold their state constitution? And what threatened lawsuit are you talking about? What lawsuit that does not yet exist is powerful enough to reduce these Republicans to a quivering crew? Oversight is appropriate wherever...

A Sign of DeSantis Weakness https://news.yahoo.com/ron-desantis-team-tries-stop-003250554.html

The analysis you shared that spoke against the constitutionality of reinstating the two Tennessee legislators proved to be incorrect. I'm expecting this one to prove incorrect also.

There is evidence. I cited it above.

My first thought when I saw this was, these two guys deserve each other. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/12/trump-sues-michael-cohen-for-500-million.html

There is something I want to acknowledge when I call the Tennessee House Republicans racist. While I believe they are racist, that's a belief. In fact, I do not know what lies in their hearts. I do not know what their inner motives were when they voted to expel two black men while letting the...

And the Republicans did something that has never before been done in the TN House. They welcomed back the two they expelled, just days after they expelled them. Funny how public sentiment has a way of changing things up. All of a sudden, they became non-racist and welcomed the black men back...

Justin Pearson Reappointed to the Seat From Which He Was Expelled The vote to reinstate was unanimous. https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/news/politics/2023/04/12/justin-pearson-reappointed-to-tennessee-legislature-by-shelby-county-commissioners/70099891007/

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.
