Republicans like Senator Tim Scott have called for several Democrats to be expelled from Congress over comments critical of Israel.
Calls from Republicans to have certain Democrats expelled from Congress over their Israel remarks is a 'dangerous' path, according to lawyer and legal analyst Jonathan Turley.On October 7, Hamas led the deadliest Palestinian militant attack on Israel in history, with Israel subsequently launching its heaviest-ever airstrikes on Gaza in response. As of Monday, over 1,400 people in Israel have died, the Associated Press reported, in addition to more than 5,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
Writing in an op-ed on his personal site Sunday, Turley, a constitutional law expert who has frequently been aligned with conservative causes in the past, called the possibility of expelling these lawmakers over their comments 'the ultimate manifestation' of the current polarized political climate.'Expulsion and disqualification have come into vogue in Washington as members of both parties seek to bar opponents from ballots or office,' Turley wrote.
