      if you really believed in innocence before guilty then you must remain neutral until a guilty verdict has been found. Asking congress to be a guilty verdict is actually unconstitutional it's a jury of your peers not foreign states looking at your seat as a way of tilting their ways and means of getting their self interest obtained. It's not an easy to decision for congress to make until you're found guilty of crimes misdemeanors that would effect issues. It's also possibly important to learn more by keeping your enemy close by your side and thinking hey I fit in they kept me here their my friend's vs let me see your phone who do you talk with how do you talk are you in a dress today?

      @@pysvtfa4 Expulsion is not dependent on any finding of wrongdoing. That's why Santos has no right to defend himself. He's not accused of anything in the expulsion process, no crime, no ethics violation. It's just a vote to keep him or kick him out without any reason given, and he gets to vote on the expulsion too.
      Remember, every expelled member will be replaced by the voters in their district. Remember also that expulsion requires a 2/3 supermajority. MTG and Jim Jordan can't do anything without all Republicans and 1/3 of Dems going along. It's good that it's so difficult.
