Pelosi Rejects Resolution by Democrats to Expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

Yesterday Twitter suspended Rep Greene’s posting ability, today some good news.

[EpochTimes] House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Nancy <q>San Fran Nan</q> Pelosi

Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
(D-Calif.) on Friday said she rejected a move by some Democrats led by Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) to expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from Congress.

About 70 House Democrats joined Gomez in signing the resolution. However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat...
to expel a member of Congress, the bid requires a two-thirds supermajority, meaning that a significant number of Republicans would need to join.

"I’m not going to get into that," Pelosi told news hounds Friday about the bid to expel Greene, suggesting that she did not support his resolution. "Members are very unhappy about what’s happened here. And they can express themselves the way they do. What Mr. Gomez did is his own view. And that is not a leadership position."

Expulsion is a rare scenario in Congress. The last time a member was expelled was in 2002 when the House voted to force out then-Ohio Democratic Rep. James Traficant after he was convicted of several corruption charges and faced sentencing in prison.

#1 Do it and when the Republicans take control they can expel Nancy Pelosi and any/all Democrats of their choosing. Coup for the goose is coup for the gander.

#4 GOP should put forth a bill denouncing the attempt and enshrine the names of the anti-First Amendment creatures in Congress that voted for this.

#5 Knowing Trunks as we do, it's a 50-50 bet that they made a deal to give up the on Iowa Rep steal in trade for Pelosi's "veto" on blackballing (now there's a term that's living on borrowed time) MTG....even though there was zero chance the Dems could come up with 2/3 majority.

#6 Tough to get 2/3rds of congress to agree on anything, except their own pay raises.
