Ok, we now have a state level expulsion precedent. Let’s see some federal level expulsion precedents / indictments.

Call me crazy, call me foolish, but it just seems to me that treason and sedition should bar someone from holding political office. I don’t know, it’s just an inkling within me…

I think he would actually be a really bad doorman at a hotel. Unless it was at a Kidnapping Suites or at one of the Murder Me While I Sleep properties.

“What if a House Democrat had allowed Antifa into the Capitol?”

Always the myth.

Nearman should not only be thrown out of office, he should be thrown in jail.

that no evidence would emerge showing a premeditated plan on his part to let demonstrators in

That is because he so cleverly deflected culpability with his statement/denial delivery. It really threw them off his trail.

You’d have to say what entrance you’re at,” Nearman told the room, affecting a tongue-in-cheek ignorance. “But that’s not really going to happen. So don’t worry about that. Nobody said anything.”

He said it was not really going to happen, nobody said anything. Brilliant. Handled it all.

I wonder if making him personally responsible for the cost of the clean up and security might just do the trick.

He’s probably deciding between running as Senator or Governor next, keeping his Presidential run in his back pocket so as not to step on His Orangeness’ toes for now.

Right…he was just WELCOMING these domestic terrorist to ‘their’ house…give it a break. You deliberately incited demonstrators to attack the state Capitol and now you’re pretending you’re the VICTIM. Typical.

"That is why we call for Mike to resign, I’m not going to stand up for someone who admitted to a premeditated crime after lying to his Republican colleagues about it.”

It’s an unforgivable breach of the credo. See: "The president [sic] has long asserted that he fired Mr. Flynn in February because Mr. Flynn had lied to Vice President Pence over whether he talked with the Russian ambassador, Sergey I. Kislyak, about sanctions imposed on Russia by President Barack Obama.
