Oh Perfect: Eric Holder and Other Democrat Lawyers Team Up to Sue the Tennessee Legislature on Behalf of the Nashville Three

The corrupt fixer, the guy who "Obama's Wingman," the man who corruptly purloined the pardon for fugitive financier Marc Richis here to support Obama's favorite Community Organizers, the ones who do their Community Organizing in the well of the Tennessee legislature.

Eric Holder, former President Barack Obama's attorney general, and a group of attorneys threatened legal action unless two expelled Democrat state legislators were fully restored to the Tennessee House of Representatives in a letter sent to Speaker of the Tennessee House Cameron Sexton (R-Crossville) on Monday.
And though the House restored one of the expelled state legislators late Monday and is likely to restore the second expelled state legislator on Wednesday, sources tell The Tennessee Star that Holder will likely sue the state of Tennessee, the Tennessee House of Representatives, and Speaker Sexton anyways.
Holder is among six attorneys representing State Rep. Justin Jones (D-Nashville) and former State Rep. Justin Pearson (D-Memphis) following their expulsion last week from the Tennessee House after the lawmakers and well-funded left-wing organizations led a made-for-TV protest demanding sweeping gun control laws. They broke several House rules, driving a chaotic scene that shut down proceedings in what Sexton and others have compared to a riot.

As someone pointed out to me: The left is right there with the lawyers to defend their insurrectionists.

Where is the permanent, ready-at-a-moment's-notice legal forces to defend people on the right?

We have people like... well, like David French.

Holder and his associates -- attorneys from Washington, D.C.-based Covington and Burling LLP, where Holder is senior counsel -- represent Jones, and Burch Porter and Johnson LLP of Memphis serve as counsel for Pearson, according to a warning letter the lawyers sent to Sexton on Monday.

Who is paying Holder and his fancy law firm? Is it pro-bono? A campaign contribution?

9 Republicans are just SO FUCKING BAD AT THIS.

In the first place by letting the white woman stay and kicking out the two black men, they handed the left a gigantic YOU RACISTS talking point. So stupid to keep them all.

And then the second they said they were going to send the same people back they should have either:

A) Refused to seat them

OR

B) Immediately passed whatever law needed to be passed to explicitly spell out that if a member is expelled for cause they are banned from holding State office ever again.

Instead they're just meekly bowing their heads and letting the 2 insane leftists back in.

They are just SO BAD AT THIS.

Not surprising, Ace. "Tennessee" now encompasses more than one issue. For example, Will Bunch, Daily News, Voices, in the article, "Banner week for voters? Hardly. GOP wages an asymmetrical war on democracy because it can't get the votes

One paragraph reads, "The Tennessee expulsions tinged with racism that echoed from 1960s civil rights protests with deep roots in Nashville's once-segregated lunch counters, showed America just how far Republicans are willing to go to hold power - by nullifying the votes of Black and brown voters and drowning out the voices of young people who thoroughly reject Republican dogma around AR-15 assault rifles, transgender athletes or banning abortions."

This is it. They are not "scared" of us, they are not "scared of Trump", they just can't stand Trump's defiance of their will.

And they know that if Trump gets a foothold he's going to do stuff they don't like and stuff they hate, and then because they hate him any exercise of power by Trump that is not in their hands, they hate.

And they just can't stand it anymore, and that makes them the victims, what with "putting up" with so much that Trump has done, that it justifies any means to keep him out of office.

Posted by: weft cut-loop at April 12, 2023 06:38 PM (jzzG

1.) Deny them habeas corpus and lock them in squalid cell for a lengthy stretch with no charges.

2.) Eventually file trumped up bullshit charges like parading, aggravate them to a ludicrous degree and nail their dicks to the wall with draconian sentences.

3.) Declare anyone who expresses support for them insurrectionists, raid their homes, doxx them, and persecute them in any other way they can dream up.

That's a start. That would be a real play that meant something.

189 Mission accomplished. Meaningless gesture, followed by a return to square one, while the controversy was used as cover for Gov. Lee to order the major Democrat policy goal into law, that the controversy started about in the first place.

The rubes say "muh gubner fightz fer me but muh demz iz bad herp a durr we gotz to voat harrrrdurrrr," and the band plays on.

It works every damn time. How embarrassing.

191 Lawfare. It is what the left does, and what the right will not.

193 Why didn't Holder run to the defense of the Oregon GOP Legislator expelled for holding open a door.

194 So who wrote the article above that says the TN legislature reinstated the protest goons? They were assigned to return via their jurisdiction per TN law and therefore the legislature had to allow them back in. Imagine it will take a week before they do it again.

197 Some how this feels like a “put on” …

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is ending its longtime partnership with lawyer and election strategist Marc Elias, who paid for the notorious dossier falsely accusing the Donald Trump presidential campaign of colluding with Russia. The divorce between the national organization of Democrats and its top lawyer over “a number of strategic disagreements” was first reported by Punchbowl News, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter.

198 No worries. You can count on the Republicans to fold like a cheap picnic chair, because that's what they always do. They are a party of cowards, liars, used car salesmen, corrupt lawyers, trust fund kids, suckers and corporate donor whores.

199 I can see this going both ways, the GOP folding like a lawn chair, but the TN GOP had to know that there would be blow back, so this might be a chance to hold some feet to the fire.
I personally would be showing a compare and contrast to Jan, 6th and Nashville, with some questions like which one gets jail time and who gets represented by a former AG.
