The magic three rules…. The three state representatives were expelled, not for nothing, but for breaking several rules. The breaking of rules disrupted the proceedings and brought everything to a stop.

They knew the rules. They knew what would happen to them after breaking the rules. Moreover, they had no repentance. They decided what they did was proper. They figured the Tennessee house chamber was a good place to hold a demonstration.

Now, they have been, figuratively thrown out on their ears. Maybe it is about time more people realize that there are penalties for their actions. We certainly do not need lawlessness inside the state house chambers.

Better to keep protests outside, where they are legal and proper.
