It’s interesting that Republicans are so concerned about the precedent being set by the Dems.....when they seem to not be concerned at all about the precedent being set by them supporting a Qanon, racist wacko like her.

And it's not really much of a precedent. Members of Congress have faced discipline before. This is a pretty spurious argument. It's legal, there are procedures in place.
And if we can't discipline someone for literally threatening the lives of other members of Congress, then we need to stop pretending we're a nation governed by the rule of law.
It’s allowing the other party to decide who can or can’t sit on a committee. Those decisions are for each individual party to assess.
Put up a Vote to kick her out if they want. The committee assignment vote is stupid.

It's allowing Congress to decide who constitutes their committees, which is perfectly legal. There's procedural framework for the whole process.
Republicans got a say in this, too. They voted. They just came up short.
So. Legal. Constitutional. Proper. Necessary.
Win/Win for America!

Vote to kick her out if that’s what everyone wants. I would be fine with that

Vote for the other candidate if that's what everyone wants. I would be fine with that.

Let's see where Ben lands on conviction. I'm hoping he sides with the rule of law and democracy.

Woah, woah, woah, woah. Hold your horses there. Sasse likes to talk about how smart and ethical he is, but voting the line is all he is good for. Speak loudly and carry a small stick or something...I don't know.

Sasse is right about this, but yeah, I've always had a love hate relationship with him. He says things to seem a certain way but then largely votes exactly as you would expect him to regardless of nuance or circumstance.
But, to his credit, he was at least willing to call out Trump's BS over the years. And to reiterate, he is right about this.

You make zero sense with this dribble and obviously have no idea how committee assignments are handed out. Kuddos.

In Sasse's defense, he voted along party lines, not necessarily Trump's. Trump pushed through what any other GOP President would have, he just said some really obnoxious things and looked like a douche while doing it. And there really isn't anything anyone can do except call out the silly behavior, which Sasse did. I wouldn't expect GOP Reps and Senators to give up there motives just because they don't like the President.
But his vote and/or soundbites will be interesting come Senate trial time...
