Back on Dec 11th I called on leadership not to seat in Congress any members supporting insurrection against the government in violation of Sec 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. My colleague

is on strong constitutional ground.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested that more House Democrats were considering invoking the 14th Amendment to expel Republican lawmakers who had participated in efforts to subvert the results of the election. trib.al/BDDyKTS

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was written after the Civil War to bar from government any traitors who would seek to destroy the Union. It forbids Members of Congress from engaging in rebellion against America. Trying to overturn an election is a pretty clear example of that.

It pains that my own congressional representative,

, was one on the organizers of the insurrection. He should be arrested and charged.
