    Oh, boy. Here comes the shitstorm. What an idiotic thing to do. Guarantee this is going to start a whole campaign to get him arrested or resign as well.

        I chuckled out loud over this. Well played.

      If pulling the alarm is illegal then why shouldn’t he be arrested?

      If he did do it on purpose to disrupt the vote then why shouldn’t he be expelled or punished?

      It’s an incredibly stupid thing to do and definitely sets the Dems back a bit.

        It wasn’t to disrupt the vote. It was an arguably bad attempt to delay the vote so they could read it before voting. This is like getting angry and a starving kid stealing a loaf of bread. Is it illegal? Sure. Is it wrong? Absolutely debatable.

        And technically they can’t get arrested without getting impeached or expelled. Which you mentioned both consequences, but they need to be in that order. And it’d look really silly and likely not lead to expulsion without the Republicans looking bad. So they’ll just let their extremists whine loudly about it and submit bill ands the like that will go nowhere, but keeps it in the news so they can talk about it in sound bites.

      I think he should lose committee spots or something, actual consequences not something like a censure vote.

      We do not want a pattern of fake fire alarms established in that building.

        Simple solution.

        Remove the pull stations.

        The usually cause more problems than they help adress- and there’s enough security in the capital complex that i would be shocked if they ever get pulled as any thing more than “oh we’re evacuating anyhow and I always wanted to pull them.”
