The Tennessee Expulsion Is a Glimpse of the Future

Clearly, expelling two members of the Tennessee legislature was an explosive move and temporarily leaves their constituents no representation, at least until a special election is held.

In fact, the state party is already raising money for the members to win back their seats.

Meanwhile, there’s another story playing out 600 miles to the north that highlights another, potentially even more consequential use of hard-ball legislative power.

While liberals were celebrating the election Tuesday of a #Wisconsin #Supreme #Court #justice who will tip the court to the left, voters in the state’s 8th senatorial district were sending #Republican #Dan #Knodl to Madison.

That gives the GOP a Senate #supermajority and with it, the power to remove key officials through #impeachment — including judges.

In late March, Knodl said he would “#certainly #consider” impeaching #Janet #Protasiewicz, the new state Supreme Court justice, though he was talking about her role as a county judge.

Would Wisconsin Republicans impeach a justice simply because they don’t like the court’s rulings? Well, there is nothing hypothetical about how the state’s GOP legislature has used its power against other branches of government
