The case of the two Tennessee Democrats involves neither criminal nor immoral conduct nor the mere statement of opinions. It involves conduct — encouraging demonstrations and bringing a bullhorn and posters to the state House floor — that violates the rules of the House. Still, the legislature has never imposed before so severe a penalty for rules violations, and over the past few years, a number of legislators have kept their posts even after being charged with serious sexual misconduct.
The case of the two Tennessee Democrats involves a very simple principle - when "our side" disregards the rules, then how dare you enforce them! Don't you know "our side" is righteous and therefore justified in disobeying the rules?
