“A Republican-led effort to expel Representative George Santos of New York failed decisively on Wednesday night, after a group of lawmakers from Mr. Santos’s home state could not persuade nearly enough of their colleagues that his admitted lies and federal indictment were sufficient grounds to oust him.“

Not surprising, lying and breaking the law are prerequisites to being a Republican

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) recently identified herself as a “Christian nationalist,”

In 1928, Adolf Hitler said: "We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity. Our movement is Christian."

So it's against the law now to be Christian? Sounds like a Chinese dystopia.

That is not believable. You don’t have any friends.

That's means almost 90% of democrats did, meanwhile 90%+ of republicans did not. Not exactly a great point.

Unlike most votes on policy, this isn't going to affect the lives of a single voter in any of their districts, so they have even less incentive than usual to care about doing what's right. The vote is all about what works best for them politically so it is a clear statement of the values of the people who elected them. So given the very clear partisan split, it's clear which set of voters care about basic things like integrity, honesty, and the rule of law.

I agree. Some people do care about Constitutional Due Process.

Due process is for criminal trials, not job interviews or being fired for lying. After he’s fired he can try and sue if he thinks he was wronged but he’s not going to do that.

People get fired for lying on job applications every day in this country.

I love how some people think the word "fired" is in the US Constitution. Probably WAPO subscribers. Money well spent on an education.

As usual, you didn't absorb a word I said.

I wasn't making a point about any individual, it was a macro analysis of which side of the political spectrum actually cares about the things we all pretend to value.

Constitutional due process isn't a thing. It's an excuse for someone to ignore their purported core values by pretending that taking away someone's political power which was entirely based on trust is equal to taking away someone's right to personal freedom and liberty.

Which is also a purity test those 30 failed.

You made the claim.... are you now implying it's a troll claim that the party stands for law and order... Or just more political demagoguery that you were not really serious about? Weird take to dismiss your own claim, but you do you.
