Expelled Member of the Tennessee State House Sent Back to Fill His Own Vacancy

Just to sum up the situation with the Tennessee troublesome twosome, both Justin Jones and Justin Pearson were expelled last week. Justin Jones was reinstated yesterday to the Tennessee House on an interim basis after the Nashville Metropolitan Council set him back to fill his own vacancy. The other Justin, Justin Pearson is currently waiting on the Shelby county board to do the same for him. Here

  1. Is there any red state that is inoculated from the leftist contagion?

    First, we see the Constitutional God-given right of self-protection eviscerated in Texas, and now we see a Ta-Nehisi Coates wannabe rabble-rouser in Tennessee. I expect this type of nonsense in my state but you red-staters need to do a better job of taking out the trash.

  2. Nashville is not, nor never has been, quite what it seems. When I lived there around 1980 a black cop told me that North Nashville was effectively unpoliced. They would go in only when called to an emergency. Otherwise, it was too dangerous for them to patrol.

    It was a sort of CHAZ before it was cool to go CHAZ.

  3. Although I think it was in an AP article, my impression was that he would have to readmitted because he was appointed. But that doesn’t mean the legislative leaders would need to feel any obligation to put him on committees or otherwise give him any sense of belonging beyond his ability to vote.
    And maybe they need to change the rules or laws so that someone legitimately ousted, as this guy was with 2/3 of members voting to oust him, could not be reappointed.
