CA Dems Block Expulsion Of Legislator Convicted Of 8 Felonies

CA Dems reasoning is even though convicted he hasn’t been sentenced. Yea, that makes it ok.


Senate Democrats on Thursday blocked a move to expel their Democratic colleague Sen. Rod Wright by sending a Republican proposal to the Rules Committee, where it could permanently stall.

Sen. Steve Knight, a Republican from Palmdale, introduced a resolution to expel Wright from the Senate because a jury found him guilty of eight felonies last month for lying about living in the district he represents.

“This will be precedent-setting,” Knight said as debate on his measure was being quashed on a 21-13, mostly party-line vote.

“We have gone past any time period where someone has been convicted of a felony and not resigned.”

Wright went on a paid leave of absence on Tuesday and has been removed from his committee assignments, causing Democratic Senate leader Darrell Steinberg to say the move to expel Wright would “make zero practical difference.”

Stinky, the difference is that this dude has already been convicted.

And for lying about living in his district. He's not qualified to represent the people in that district regardless.
