Via Scott MacFarlane:

2 other NY Republicans have co-sponsored this bill to strip expelled-former Rep. of his floor privleges, document room access ... and parking at Capitol

Rep. Nick LaLota and Rep. Michael Lawler

Apr 14
1 month after expelled former Rep George Santos appeared on House floor for Pres. Biden's SOTU address, his former GOP colleague (Rep. D'Esposito) intros resolution to strip expelled Members of floor privileges, access to "House document room" & parking

Clearly, congress doesn't know the definition of "expelled".

@Wileymiller Clearly GOP Fascists refuse to acknowledge the definitions of democracy and rules.

@GottaLaff

Here, congress, let me help you out...

ex·pel | ikˈspel |
verb (expels, expelling, expelled) [with object]

deprive (someone) of membership of or involvement in a school or other organization: she was expelled from school.

• force (someone) to leave a place, especially a country: eight diplomats were expelled from Norway for espionage.

Which part of that leads them to believe expelled members still have access to floor and files?

@Wileymiller You keep forgetting: They make their own rules up as they go along… whatever benefits them.

@GottaLaff
Oh, I know all too well. Just don't say someone has been expelled if they're still allowed to come in.

@GottaLaff @Wileymiller you're right (as you know and as usual) to call it fascism and making rules up. Imo.

Classical liberalism depends on rule of law. It was an improvement over rule by crown

Fascism, a form of illiberalism, prefers to rule BY law. In the simplest terms this is making the rules up as you go in order to get whatever you want.
