In particular, Mo Brooks went beyond in giving a speech at the Capitol rally where he said that today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass. Though in looking up that quote, I found out that it looks like what they're actually doing is censuring him: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/01/mo-brooks-slapped-with-censure-resolution-over-riot-speech.html Oh interesting. I think you really need a court to decide that though. It doesn't provide a mechanism for removal of a sitting member of Congress. Seating a member of Congress is done by majority vote but the only mechanism for removal of one by Congress is a 2/3 vote. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:949396582] in Politics C...
